HOW TO make a cricket robot
Henry Arnold is out here with a wonderful cricket toy robot. The Cricket uses its six legs attached with three motors to walk around. He can feel via its sensitive feelers and easily evade objects, chirps randomly and also when its feelers are touched creating different sounds and blinks his lights.
A Stamp II controller mounted on its back takes care of all the operations of Cricket which is designed by easily available materials. So, even you can easily make one for you. Just drop in to you nearest home repair store and collect the required material as mentioned here.
Henry used the following to make one for him:
1. Lexan for body
2. Aluminum tubing
3. Rubber grommet
4. A hinged standoff
5. Plastic wire cover
6. Parallax Stamp II module
7. A infrared sensor
8. Sony remote control
9. Nickel-cadmium or AA batteries
Thanks: Henry Arnold
