3 Stages of Cricket Materials

1. Stick-Bots

2. Sticky-Bots

3. Sticky & Junky-Bots

Stage 1, Stick-Bots

• Free & cheap "Non-Consumable Consumables"

• Originally, like Lego, Re-Usable Kits

(Non-Consumables)

• Found a Blanket was First Good Ingredient...

Page 4: Where’s the bricks? Unlike Lego, Crickets do NOT come with building materials! Now What?

Experimented with building with many types of materials..

Page 5: Where’s the bricks? Unlike Lego, Crickets do NOT come with building materials! Now What?

Noticed kept coming across hobby sticks over and over...

Page 6: Where’s the bricks? Unlike Lego, Crickets do NOT come with building materials! Now What?

Two Versions, Brown & White and ...

… multi-colored, which eventually became clear was best.

So one of the main ingredients is colored craft sticks!

Page 8: Where’s the bricks? Unlike Lego, Crickets do NOT come with building materials! Now What?

Stick Stick-Bots Together with…

Multi-Color Tape (Staples etc.)

Multi-Color/Size Clamps (Staples etc.)

Multi-Color Paper Clips (Staples etc.)

Color Rubber Bands (Staples etc.)

Hardest to Find, Mechanisms…

Pick up Sticks (Toys R Us)

Spacers (Hardware Store)

Multi-Color/Size/Shape Beads & Blocks

(Toy Stores etc.)

Gears (Lego &/or Kelvin Catalog)

Started simple with pure mechanical structures.No electronics or computation …

First challenge was to simply to develop stable structures...

Page 12: Where’s the bricks? Unlike Lego, Crickets do NOT come with building materials! Now What?

Eventually…

Worked up to the standard Bugs & Cars

(Only pulley rather than gears)
