Spyderbot

Undeterred by my colleagues' measly criticisms concerning the uselessness of this artifact, I present a lame copy of a remote-controlled walking robot I remember having seen in some conference proceedings - the Spyderbot.

This lame name can be safely attributed to the original name of the underlying LEGO construction kit series Spybotics, which comprises a central controller with integrated motors, remote-control capabilities, zero intelligence and zero programmability.

PS: The original idea for the MiniWhegs was devised by the Biologically Inspired Robotics Lab at Case Western Reserve University.
