Robotics naturally comes with the notion of being both inexplicably complex as well as totally expensive, but the Crafty Robot looks to make the field inexpensive and fun. Priced at just £5, the Crafty Robot is made from paper and is powered by the Fizzbit: a small piece of hardware that can transform almost anything into a robot. The design of the Fizzbit allows it to be placed on anything (literally: put it on a cookie if you want!) and works right out of the box as it doesn't require programming.
Ideal for parents to give to their children as a simple, inexpensive foray into robotics, the Crafty Robot is sure to expand the capabilities of those with limited means.
