No servos or electronics included. I have contacted engadget to update the post if this is misleading. The store does clearly state what is and is not included:<br><br>MSR-H01 is a 3 DOF hexapod kit consisting of 26 precision laser cut 5053 aluminum body and leg components in one of three anodized colors, Silver, Red or Black. The kit comes with all screws, stand-offs, nuts and bolts for assembly.<br><br>The M3 & M4 machine screws included are high quality stainless steel hexagon button head type, with steel hexagon stand-offs. There are mounting holes on the top body plate for the p.Brain-SMB or SSC32 controllers, with the electronics mounted underneath the top body plate, there is still enough room within the body for a 5 cell Sub-C battery pack. Also, a PP3 battery holder (optional) can be fitted within the body frame for a clean logic power supply. At the front of the hexapod there is a servo mounting point for an optional pan/tilt head.<br><br>Kit does not come with servos, electronics or batteries.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Matt Denton]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 1st 2008 6:46AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on MSR-H101 Hexapod kit lets you build your own nightmares]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/01/msr-h101-hexapod-kit-lets-you-build-your-own-nightmares/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/01/msr-h101-hexapod-kit-lets-you-build-your-own-nightmares/</guid><description><![CDATA[It even shakes like the robots in Runaway:<br><br>All it needs is a needle that can inject acid and I'll bite...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[SiXiam]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 1st 2008 7:39AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on MSR-H101 Hexapod kit lets you build your own nightmares]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/01/msr-h101-hexapod-kit-lets-you-build-your-own-nightmares/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/01/msr-h101-hexapod-kit-lets-you-build-your-own-nightmares/</guid><description><![CDATA[Anyone seen the movie "Virus"?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[SpringheelMac]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 1st 2008 9:32AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on MSR-H101 Hexapod kit lets you build your own nightmares]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/01/msr-h101-hexapod-kit-lets-you-build-your-own-nightmares/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/01/msr-h101-hexapod-kit-lets-you-build-your-own-nightmares/</guid><description><![CDATA[Seen it, one of the few movies that ever really scared shit out of me.
