Its a nice system for breadboarding projects. Check out my Synapse-Wireless web page for additional breadboarding projects. http://www.family-science.net/Synapse_Wireless.htm

I'm working a small video clip that I will post on TeacherTube (like You Tube but for educators). I should have it available next week.

how are we ment to make the arms and such

This project was designed to study the gaits of a table top walking bot. An arm can easily be added to this bot using additional parts from the ROBOTIX construction kits.

can you make it without the ROBOTIX parts oh i forgot to say that is pretty rad

Jul 20, 2007. 8:28 PMMrdon219 (author) says:

With the appropriate mechanical parts like gears and plastic fab pieces, its very possible to be such a walking bot from scratch. The ROBOTIX kit allows for quick prototying of bots.
