Bugger
This is my first walking robot. Like a real beetle, Bugger has six legs and long antennae. He can walk slowly along flat surfaces. I designed him more for looks than for practicality, although I do have a few hidden functions. His program works like this: He walks forward until he sees you in front of him, and then stops. He then starts chirping (using the Blips 25 sound file) until you pet him on the back several times. How does he know to stop chirping when you pet him? Well, hidden under the bricks on the back is a touch sensor with a rod extending to under the spikes. When you press the beam that has the spikes attached to it, it activates the touch sensor. You may notice in the picture that you don't see almost any wires. In between the motors, there is a fairly large hollow where all his wires are bundled up. Every other leg is 180 degrees further along a turn than the other legs.

  • This is a very impressive project. I can tell a good deal of effort was put into it. Personally I always struggle with walking constructions, but you should come see the driven/tracked things I've posted

  • Thank you for commenting! When I tried to make this NXTLog, a step got unknowingly deleted. Please look at my finished project, titled Bugger: a Friendly Beetle. It has way more info about the technical stuff.
