Prerequisites

To minimize the cost of this project, while also trying to teach you that sometimes household items can be used in creative ways as materials for a project, we will be using ice cream sticks to create the chassis (ice-cream sticks should be available in your local stationery store; if you, however, choose to acquire the ice cream sticks by visiting your local ice cream parlor every day and get sick of doing so, I am not responsible; nevertheless, this is the way to go).

The rest of the components needed for this project are as follows:

  • 1x Arduino MEGA 2560

  • 1x USB cable A to B (also known as the printer cable)

  • 12 x 9g Micro servos (2+ extra servos recommended)

  • 1x Breadboard

  • 40x Male-to-male connecting wires

  • 20x Male-to-female connecting wires

  • 20x Ice cream/popsicle sticks

  • 1x Wood glue

  • 1x Ruler/measuring tape

  • 1x Regular-type screwdriver

  • 1x Multimeter

  • 1x 7.4V (2 Cell) 2200 mAh (or above) LiPo battery

  • 1x 3A UBEC (Universal Battery Elimination Circuit)

  • 1x XT60 male

  • 1x 7.4V 500 mAh LiPo battery

  • 1x...
