Where’s the bricks? Unlike Lego, Crickets do NOT come with building materials! Now What?
3 Stages of Cricket Materials 1. Stick-Bots 2. Sticky-Bots 3. Sticky & Junky-Bots
Stage 1, Stick-Bots • Free & cheap "Non-Consumable Consumables" • Originally, like Lego, Re-Usable Kits (Non-Consumables) • Found a Blanket was First Good Ingredient...
… multi-colored, which eventually became clear was best. So one of the main ingredients is colored craft sticks!
Stick Stick-Bots Together with… Multi-Color Tape (Staples etc.) Multi-Color/Size Clamps (Staples etc.) Multi-Color Paper Clips (Staples etc.) Color Rubber Bands (Staples etc.)
Hardest to Find, Mechanisms… Pick up Sticks (Toys R Us) Spacers (Hardware Store) Multi-Color/Size/Shape Beads & Blocks (Toy Stores etc.) Gears (Lego &/or Kelvin Catalog)
First challenge was to simply to develop stable structures... Started simple with pure mechanical structures. No electronics or computation …
Eventually… Worked up to the standard Bugs & Cars (Only pulley rather than gears)
