One of the first ‘robots’ I built was a Beetle bug based on the intractable found here.http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Build-a-Robot---The-BeetleBot/It’s a great beginner project with no logic or programming, just some switches and some motors. I think the design is absolutely brilliant, and I’m very pleased with my adaptation. (Scared the shit out of my wife…) The wiring is simpel On the table you can also see the part from an old mouse I used for the shellDead bug
