Summary
In summary, you explored the concept of biomimicry, understanding how incredible animals are by building a scorpion. Aspects of a scorpion have been used in numerous robot builds and designs, from start-up companies to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Understanding how to use sensors to detect motion and movement to activate a strike is a great aspect to your learning. Additionally, showcasing two ways to operate the robot within the software is another nice touch to this kit as you can now think of many new ways to use this robot.
In the next chapter, you will explore a similar type of thinking and design but for a different purpose. You will enter the world of sumobots, making a robot that will battle the best of the best in sumo arenas. Let's go!
