Cricket is an imitation of Lynxmotion's Hexapod I kit (Cricket is also
where I first saw transparent servos! :)
I want to work on a Cricket/Hexapod type robot, but I want to make it
TINY!!! No more than 6 inches long. It seems to be the average lenth for
my bots anyway! :) Walkman Jr and Bronco are both under 6 inches
(actualy 4-5!!!).
You can see pictures with size specifications of my bots at the Twin
Cities Robotics Group web page (under Member Index and then click me).
The pictures at my web site ( http://richfiles.calc.org
) are typicaly
a little better in quality though.
