    MouseBot

    Originally invented by Randy Sargent, the MouseBot was built from spare parts as an entry for a robot competition. This is such an elegant, clever design using very few parts, it's been featured in "Junkbot, Bugbots, and Bots on Wheels", "Absolute Beginner's Guide to Robots" and "MAKE" Magazine.

    Mousebot is a 9-volt battery-powered robot that loves to chase flash light beams. The Mousebot has a functional whisker and tail sensors, so it doesn't get stuck in corners while it chases around. If there are several in the same area, they can be configured to chase each other! These little robots are so quick, you have to run to keep up to them!
