Build a Walking Robot with a Single Motor | Science Project

This video tutorial guides viewers through building a simple walking robot using a single DC motor. It covers the necessary tools, explains the linkage mechanism, and provides step-by-step instructions for constructing the robot's legs and rear support. The video also discusses powering the robot with a suitable battery and offers troubleshooting tips and experimentation ideas for science projects.

What mechanism allows the robot to walk forward?

• A rotating wheel

• A spring mechanism

• A linkage system

• A sliding rail

What is the purpose of gluing straws to the motor shaft?

• To increase the speed of the motor

• To ensure one foot is on the ground while the other is in the air

• To create a decorative effect

• To balance the motor

Why is it important to not glue the dowel to the straw in the leg mechanism?

• To ensure the dowel is securely attached

• To prevent the straw from breaking

• To make the robot lighter

• To allow the dowel to slide back and forth

Why should a 9 Volt battery not be used to power the motor?

• It is not compatible with the motor

• It is too heavy for the robot

• It can damage the motor due to high voltage

• It is too expensive

What should you do if the robot walks backward after connecting the power?

• Add more glue to the feet

• Replace the battery

• Adjust the leg length

• Reverse the red and black wires
