DESCRIPTION:
"Great Idea, Great Project" according to John Matlock. Computers & Technology, Education, Robotics, Technology & Industrial Arts, Education / Computers & Technology, Electronics & Communications EngineeringWhat a great idea! Here is a full fledged micro-computer controlled robot device. No, it's hardly a robot so sophisticated that it will take over the world, but it is enough to make an interesting project for a science fair, or a Daddy-Son/Daddy-Daughter project.The book and kit to build the robot come together. Everyt. great robot kit it takes a little time to get the legs working right, but its worth the effort to see it moveslowly!
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. Most notably, the kit contains a microcontroller board that allows Stiquito to walk on its own. The book includes comprehensive instructions and all the parts needed to complete assembly. 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 robotComprehensive lessons on how to make Stiquito "walk" using the microcontrollerEngineering teachers and students, researchers, and science enthusiasts will find Stiquito Controlled! a fascinating and fun hands-on project.Batteries not includede.uncc/jmconrad/Stiquito_Controlledm
"…will challenge students and their teachers to move out of their computer comfort zone…an engaging and easily manageable kit…this is a worthwhile investment." (NSTA Recommends, October 6, 2005) "The Stiquito kit and book can be inspiring learning aids for students serving to tweak their curiosity about robotics and introduce them to a hands-on experience." (IEEE Control Systems, April 2006)"…an engaging and easily manageable kit…For future engineers, this is a worthwhile investment." (Journal of College Science Teaching, January/February 2006)
