This is ACEBOTT's quadruped spider: a black acrylic body on four legs, with two MG90S servos in every leg. You bolt the frame together, plug the eight servos into the Spider Shield and seat the ESP8266 WiFi board on it.
Then the board drives all eight servos together, and the spider stands up and walks.
ACEBOTT's Bionic spider app connects to the robot over WiFi.
Everything to build the spider except the battery, including the M2, M2.5 and M3 screws, nuts, brass standoffs and cable ties.

No. The spider runs on one 18650 lithium-ion cell, and ACEBOTT's parts list doesn't include one, so get a cell before you build.
No. The phone app walks it and runs the preset moves. You will use a computer too: ACEBOTT's tutorial covers the code editor and the board alongside the build, and that's where you go when you want to change how it moves.
It's a screwdriver build: acrylic plates, eight servos and small M2 to M3 screws, with the screwdriver in the box. Buyers point out that the board's USB port is hard to reach once the body is closed, so finish your wiring and first upload before the top goes on.
One 18650 lithium-ion cell, a phone for the app, and a computer with a USB port for the code.
