Produktbeschreibung

The first book of its kind, Stiquito Controlled! introduces readers to an autonomous walking robot that resembles a "walking-stick" insect. This widely accessible, user-friendly book provides step-by-step instructions for building Stiquito, and includes comprehensive information on all the parts needed to complete assembly. Most notably, the book contains a microcontroller board that provides the control to allow Stiquito to walk on its own.
