A new robot in the family – “Cheapo”

Meet "Cheapo", the new robot in the family.

Or should I say, nearly the new robot in the family. Cheapo is still under construction and was basically an experiment to see what I could build with a minimum of material and cost.

It’s late so I’ll save the full write up of Cheapo’s construction for tomorrow but basically it is constructed using a piece of plastic covered foam sheet that I bought from an art store a while ago. The foam sheeting is really light and strong for what it is. To stick everything together I just used double sided tape. Which is totally awesome by the way :)

I’ll post a full write up tomorrow showing just how easy it is to chuck something together!
