Hey guys!! Let's have a fun roboteering with this cute little Bot named "Critter" that you are going to see today. Aren't you excited to see how it is built and what it does??? I'm sure you guys are super excited about it. So, here we go with it. Critter is the cutest bot from the LittleBot family and it is a 3D printed crawling robot. Its inspiration was from the animals like Mudskippers which was a belly dragger. It has two front legs which it uses to drag itself forward.

Mainly, it was created to introduce Robotics to the beginners so that they could get idea behind the walking mechanism i.e.the different gaits required in making a robot walk.It was done to create the excitement within the student.

What is Critter?

* 3Dprinted Robot

* Floor Crawler with bell dragging mechanism

* Arduino based

Why Critter ?

Critter is made in such a way which makes itself easy and understandable for the kids. It developes that enthusiam and interest to learn more about Robotics.The below listed factors are the ones:-

* It helps to learn about the designing and construction of the robot.

* It gives exposure to the electronic component like servos, microcontrollers, sensors etc.

* They get to learn about what actual robotics is all about like the mechanism behind their movements or how they sense the objects etc.

* Gives exposure to what coding is and how can it be done.

*Builts a confidence within and self motivates them to do something big.

I hope you found it interesting and have planned to do something creative and innovative like this. In the same way you can make something creative using Advance level and Expert level kits.
