Just curious but did anyone else not receive enough of the tiny screws to finish their hexy? In the big bag of screws there was supposed to be a number of tiny screws (per the directions on the instructables page), it doesn’t seem as though I received those. I resorted to using some of the screws that were included with the servos but it’s obvious that 1) those screws weren’t intended to be used in place of the tiny screws mentioned in the directions and 2) there simply aren’t enough of them to finish the robot.
I had a surplus of the small screws. The ones that came with the servos might serve in a pinch.
The screws are all machine counted by our supplier, and we include extras, so I’m not sure how this would happen. If you’d like extras, please contact replacements@arcbotics.com.
Thanks for the contact email, just sent a message to them.
@roboalchemist: I don’t mean to be impatient but I sent an email yesterday regarding getting the appropriate screws for my Hexy and have yet to hear a response… I would really like to be able to complete the Hexy that I bought…
Are the screws etc defined in the GitHub repository as a kit list? It may be that (for some people) the simpler solution is to pick up a bag of the correct spec machine screws from their local hardware store/ internet/ drawer in garage?
For reference, they’re #2 1/4inch screws. If you just wanted to order more for some reason, they’re available here:

We even included them in our cad model:
github.com/ArcBotics/Hexy/tree/ … crews-Nuts
If your kit didn’t include enough though (we always include extras), definitely make sure to email us at replacements@arcbotics.com
We’ve already shipped replacements to Wizardbeats
