Fish And Turtle Are Latest CrabFu Bots
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Thursday, 17 of July , 2008 at 1:47 am
CrabFu has a talent for making cute little robots out of spare servos from R/C aircraft. He also has a talent for making them really, really creepy when they move. His most recent creations are a tortoise and a fish called Flapper (watch the video and you’ll see why):
There’s no coordination on the servos; the movement of the robots comes from direct control of each servo via a remote. Oh, and the plastic bits? They’re made of some neat stuff called Shapelock, which becomes moldable if you heat it up to 150 degrees (with hot water, a heat gun, or a microwave). It hardens as soon as it cools down, and you can repeat the process. Seems like something everyone could find a use for, and you can get a free sample for, um, only $5!

What i don’t understood is actually how you’re no longer really a lot more well-appreciated than you might be now. You’re so intelligent. You know thus significantly in the case of this topic, made me for my part believe it from so many various angles. Its like women and men aren’t interested unless it’s one thing to do with Lady gaga! Your own stuffs outstanding. Always handle it up!
