MiddleCreekMerchants made the small insect robots above with the help of electronic pieces: cable connectors for the legs and diodes for the antennas.
These mini-robots move in all directions of your desk and are directed with the use of a
remote control...for the TV!
Certainly this is not revolutionary but it shows how you can make something with a little imagination and almost nothing.
Off you go, get to work! :-)
