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 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
