Video Friday: $18 Carboard Walking Robot

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Friday, 12 of June , 2009 at 12:23 am

This little guy was constructed by LMR user ZigBotting out of a cut-up cardboard box, some leftover servos, spare parts taken from junked computers and other electronics, and $18 worth of other hardware. As ZigBotting says, the 5 servos that this bot uses to walk cost way more than $18 by themselves, so the low pricetag is a little misleading… But, one of the nice things about building your own robots is that if you get tired of them, you can always rip them apart and make something more interesting.
