Virus Robot

A friend of mine saw the reindeer mechanisms that I made and commissioned me to help make some robots with her. She wanted the robots to look like viruses under high magnification so, based on some drawings that she provided, I designed a mechanism that could walk. I delivered all of the parts to her and she assembled everything into a robot. She later told me that she was having trouble driving her motors. I provided some different motor controllers and got her started with some Arduino code that she could modify into whatever she wanted. The result can be seen in the video above.
