HOW TO – Make a “Cricket” the Robot

Henry has a cool little robot you can make, schematics and source included – “Cricket is an autonomous robot that walks around by moving all six legs using three motors. He avoids objects when touched by the feelers, chirps randomly, and blinks his lights. After touching an obstacle he makes various sounds depending on which feeler sensed the object. All his functions are under control of the on board Stamp II controller.” – Link.
