Used Arduino Uno and Adafruit motor shield to control this robot. I tried to build an "inchworm" similar to the hexbug design, but it went horribly wrong! The final result is cool, not quite what I wanted, but a good learning experience none the less. Again used steel strapping that is commonly used for plumbing applications to construct the frame and most of the linkages.
