Stiquito, $45 buys small EV!!!!

["Bill Dube'" <bdube@BOULDER.NIST.GOV>]

    Yes, it's true. You can buy a "Stiquito" EV with assembly manual for
only $45. Complete parts for the EV come in a zip-lock plastic bag in the
back of the book. All you must supply is the 9 volt radio battery.

    The Stiquito is a three-inch, (I told you it was "small") six-legged,
insect-like EV that uses nitinol wire for it's "muscles." The book starts
out very simple and goes into greater and greater detail and complexity.
It's easy to build the robotic insect that is included. The author gives
complete details for the construction of the basic Stiquito, and goes on to
give very detailed instructions on building much more sophisticated
stiquito-like autonomus robots.
