Using a spring attached to a servo arm, I made a crawler. When pushing backwards, the spring would compress and "bounce" the crawler forward. When the spring then returned to its original position, the spring would bend and not affect the crawler (as much).
Before the video was shot, he was actually working much better. However, there were problems with getting enough friction as the crawler was used more and more. Troubleshooting was not particularly helpful.

I used a flat bar in attempting to create a more linear movement. Unfortunately it still listed to one side despite attempted corrective procedures. Unfortunately I was unable to make a video (see pictures instead).

Baler Crawler
Lab:
For this week's lab, we used a Servo Motor. Unlike a DC Motor, a Servo Motor usually is not supposed to spin fast. It is used for precise angular rotation. In lab, we experimented with it by using different input sensors and rotating its arms.

Description:
Emily and I created two crawlers together. The first used one servo motor and the second uses two. We used egg cartons for the body. they remind us of some sort of friendly spider like creature.
