If the cockroach moves left, the robot moves left. Infrared sensors also provide navigation feedback to the cockroach, striving to create a pseudo-intelligent system with the cockroach as the CPU Project website : www.conceptlab.com

In 2012 the cockroaches will attack the world with robots:D
im pretty sure it was just tryin to run off that ball. lol
Pretty cool! Now all they need to do is make the lights working with the sensors start lighting very dimly as it approaches an object from a distance. Then when the robot gets really close to an object, have the lights get brighter and brighter. Poor roachie lol.
