This is my robot Robo. I built him a while back for my daughter to enter in a recent robot gathering in town. He really moves in an interesting fashion. I had that motor on my desk for years and I found a brilliant use for it!! The trick was to connect the motor so it would turn. I knew it was working for as I was shrinkwrapping a connection the lighter I was using activated a motor and Robo turned!!
