The lines in the first video are probably power, maybe a little communication too. It looks like two strands of really thin magnet wire, and they’re slack the whole time.

I like the noise that the piezo actuators make. For a split second I thought the bot in the video was going to play “somewhere in my memory”. It’d be great to see a few dozen of these dancing/playing complex music.

Look’s a lot like Mark Tilden’s work with BEAM Robotic’s.

i think that wire was for power (you see 2 of them) since i dont see any type of solar cell there

Maybe it’s the terrible compression from youtube, but to me the first video looks like the little robot is being moved around by fishing string…
