Simply Stumbling
Here is a fun robot you can build with a cardboard box. Stumble-bot moves using servo controlled legs controlled by the Adafruit Crickit– A Creative Robotics & Interactive Construction Kit.
The design of this walking robot has the advantage of being very simple. As a result, it requires relatively few parts.
