Two spoons taped to motor such that the weight out front catapults the unremarkable looking creature forward.

Description: The idea behind the crawler was to create a round shape that would roll back and forth and to put weights inside the round shape to cause it to move more to one side than the other. In practice, this didn't exactly work, as the roller mainly just rolls back and forth with little forward motion. This "crawler" is made from a plastic bowl with a blue plastic disc taped to the opening. The servo motor is in a small box (I didn't want to tape directly to the servo) which has quarters taped to the bottom and one side to weight it down.

For this assignment we have revived the fly we have seen in previous assignments. We got the fly to walk using 2 servo motors and several stirring sticks.
