Step 3Whiskers
The last step before we start putting it all together.
Bending the whiskers is quite straightforward. Use pliers and a 130mm length of 1.6mm wire (actually a large paper clip will also work), using the pattern in the attached PDF ( '41-(OAWR)-Whisker Bending Guide.pdf' ).
(note: while initially designing this robot I experimented with many different shapes of whiskers. The pattern below is the one I found to work best, however it is quite interesting to experiment with different shapes. I was surprised how even small changes could drastically alter the navigational behavior of the robot)
