Maybe 3S but need to regulate the voltage down to 7.4v **Q: A photos indicates that additional parts are needed. it is unclear if the spider shield, survos, camera, ultrasonic are included? i get needs pi+bat** A: Dear customer, You need to prepare your Raspberry Pi and memory card, and four 3.7v 18650 batteries Other component kits include Denzel Freenove Support Team **Q: What's the best raspberry pi board to use here given the goals of budget friendly but capable, and are the higher end boards "overkill"?** A: I am using the Pi 4, with 4GB of RAM. Could use 2GB probably. A Pi 3 would work too. **Q: Can a latte panda be used in place of raspberry pi?** A: I don't believe so as the pi out for the motor control board that comes with the kit is specifically designed to fit with the pi ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***L on March 6, 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by C***S on February 24, 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***T on February 7, 2021* ## Frequently Bought Together - Freenove Big Hexapod Robot Kit for Raspberry Pi 5 4 B 3 B+ Zero 2 W, Walking, Self Balancing, Face Recognition, Ultrasonic Ranging, App Control, Camera, Servo (Raspberry Pi NOT Included) - Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 2019 Quad Core 64 Bit WiFi Bluetooth (4GB) - Freenove Ultimate Starter Kit for Raspberry Pi 5 4 B 3 B+ 400 Zero 2 W, 962-Page Detailed Tutorial, Python C Java Scratch Processing Code, 223 Items, 128 Projects (Raspberry Pi NOT Included) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/245566439-big-hexapod-robot-kit-for-raspberry-pi-5-4-b](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/245566439-big-hexapod-robot-kit-for-raspberry-pi-5-4-b) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
