Got Wild Hare Idea # 189A done. Like the previous Bot Sugar Bowl, this one uses a HexBug CRAB micro robot. These things are FUN to play with! And when on sale at Radio Shack are $9.99, they won't harm the wallet much.

From you video, I thought it was alive!

Robert:
Be aware that the two little batteries a) don't give much OOOMPH so 62 gms is abaout what it can carry b) cost about $4 EACH - at least at RS
And these little critters won't stand up to much abuse. A five year old would kill one in a New York Minute.
Did you hit the Hexbug.com site and see their videos? They've got three or four other bots.
Set that out on the porch for the Trick or Treaters!
I had not, but after seeing the address I went right over there. Those things are really cool.
I think the "crab" that you bought is the best of the group. Neat idea!
