The New Cricket by Henry Arnold Cricket is a simple walking robot designed to be low cost.
Cricket walks around, chirps randomly and avoids objects when touched by the feelers.
After touching an obstacle he also makes various sounds depending on which feeler sensed the object. A Sharp IR module enables Cricket to responds to commands from a Sony remote control which overides his autonomous behaviour. Power comes from nickel-cadmium batteries mounted inside a his battery pack. Cricket is always very popular with the kids who like to steer his course using the remote control feature. Brainpower comes from a Stamp II module.
