Mark Norwood is a beginner at hacking and making, so he says, but that hasn’t stopped him from taking on this project to take an off-the-shelf robot spider and control it from a Raspberry Pi. He took two of the spider kits, split them in half so that he could control the two sides independently and added a Raspberry Pi Zero W and the controller board from CamJam EduKit 3. He got it following lines and detecting objects as well as responding to remote control and he’s documented the entire process over on his blog – so head over there to read more.
