Cybug Scarab2 - $55.00 CAD
Intermediate Kit
 
 
The Scarab2 kit is designed to behave and appear insect-like, and has full obstacle avoidance and reversing motors.
 
The robo-organism is nocturnal (most active at night) and can be configured to be photo-tropic (light seeking) or photo-phobic (light avoiding). A quick adjustment of the potentiometer causes the Scarab to behave aggressively as a predator, or timid and slow moving like a herbivore. No two Scarabs are exactly the same and you will come to recognize the unique characteristics of each!
 
The Scarab's behaviour can be enhanced by adding on the microprocessor controlled Instinct Board to be released in 2007!  Instruction manual discusses operation of Scarab and all components used at a novice level. 
 
Kit requires soldering iron and basic hand tools.  3 hours estimated completion time.
