Playing with Cricket

So that is enough of the details. Here's what you can do with Cricket!
Put Cricket in an area with some obstacles and watch how he walks around them
detecting things in his way. Are there things that he doesn't see? What would he
need to see things he currently misses
Use the Cha-Cha and side leg movements to choreograph a dance routine using
Cricket's remote control. Here's an example of the "Harlem Shake"

And another one:

Using the remote control, steer Cricket through an obstacle course.
Try the programming experiments in the manual "Cricket Programming"
After you tried the above, think about ways that you would improve your Cricket.
You could change the sounds, add unique leg movements that are different than
the Cha-Cha, or add crazy random behaviors to the things he does.
How would you make Cricket walk around a table without falling off?
Improve or modify Cricket and enter him in a Science Fair or County Fair. We have
already seen kids do this and win first place ribbons.
Cricket is a great way to learn new programming and robotic skills. Playing with him will
trigger ideas of how he could be made better. Using the Arduino environment and possibly
some other sensors, will allow you to make him even smarter.
