If a Spider bot can move around freely, why doesn't it just run way and flee?(12 votes)
@MiniPixleStudios- It all depends on how you program it, they seemed to have programed it with a collision avoidance program. However you could program it to run away from people (or anything else) pretty easily.(3 votes)
Why is it called a "Spider" bot?(1 vote)
Because it is supposed to move and act like a spider.(14 votes)
- What is the Spider Bot doing when it stops and then spins around rapidly for a few rotations?(2 votes)
It's following the code that was written out for it.. it doesn't always have to be doing something specific. :)(2 votes)
Is there a way you could learn more about this? I think it is so cool.(1 vote)
you could just google it or look for robot books in your local library(1 vote)
where is this and where can learn more about it?(1 vote)- https://www.khanacademy.org/science/discoveries-projects/robots/Spider_bot/a/parts-list-for-spider
Visit this link.. it tells you where you can order the parts, manuals, and everything else from. :)(1 vote)
why is my screen just stuck black? =((1 vote)
This video is private on YouTube for some reason and cannot be view here or on YT.(1 vote)- Can it go in a stright direction(1 vote)
- That is so cool! How do you make it?(1 vote)
The tutorial only shows how to make that the robot dance, but I want that the robot do something like this video, when the robot "see" an obstacle stop the walk and see other way to walk, how i can do that?(1 vote)
Hi Aaron,
May I recommend you start by reviewing the material on arduino.cc, Adafruit.com, Sparkfun.com, and Instructables.com.
If you are able, recommend you purchase a microcontroller such as the Arduino and start coding. If you are not able to purchase the parts today then I recommend you start programming. Learning the "C" programming language is a good place to start. Actually, any language would be good but know that the low level microcontrollers are usually programmed in C.
Please leave a comment below if you have any questions.
Best wishes.
