So I’ve been playing around with the idea of building something for The Make: Robot Build and decided that if I do, I want to go as minimalist as possible, using only prefabbed components and things I can make by hand.

As my first experiment with this, I put together the Hermit Bot from a couple of servo motors, popsicle sticks, and hot glue.

He’s only programmed to walk forward right now, and has no sensors, but I’d say as a first experiment in walking, he works pretty well.
