Build your own Stiquito "walking-stick" robot insect with the included kit!Stiquito Controlled! is a widely accessible, user-friendly book that provides step-by-step instructions for building Stiquito, a small, multi-legged robot that resembles a "walking-stick" insect. The book includes comprehensive instructions and all the parts needed to complete assembly. Most notably, the kit contains a microcontroller board that allows Stiquito to walk on its own. Key features of the book include:
- Complete kit to build Stiquito--no additional materials necessary (common tools and batteries required)
- Detailed, step-by-step instructions for assembly of the robot
- Comprehensive lessons on how to make Stiquito "walk" using the microcontroller
Engineering teachers and students, researchers, and science enthusiasts will find Stiquito Controlled! a fascinating and fun hands-on project.
Batteries not included.
