The Incredible Wall-Hugging Mouse Robot!
Wow! Join Sciensational Workshops and build your own wall hugging mouse robot which you can take home!! When the bump sensor makes contact with the wall, a switch motor directs power to the left motor. This simple behavior allows this incredible mouse to follow any vertical surface on the left. You will see all of this amazing action after building your own! Your mouse can be decorated with eyes, ears, and whisker stickers- or create and draw your own!
