<p>[Husstech] wrote in to share his <a href="http://www.husstechlabs.com/Snake-Bot.html">Snake Bot</a> with us. Initially inspired by this post about <a href="http://hackaday.com/2007/04/20/sicksack-atmega-servo-snake-robot/">SickSack, a snake bot</a>, he set out to build his own version. While the concept and even the design aren&#8217;t particularly new or groundbreaking, he is very thorough in his documentation. Since this was a project for school, the <a href="http://www.husstechlabs.com/SnakeBot%20pages.pdf">PDF of his project</a> includes research, schematics, cost breakdowns, and results. We really like the camera and head design, it looks very insect like. You can see a video of the final version being shown off after the break, or you can <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6-e8w6qxGM">see an earlier version</a> that is decidedly more phallic.</p>

I&#8217;ve seen snake bots before, but I like the concept and the clean electronic design. They used a single AtMega32 controller to generate PWM signals for each of the eight servos, and used a very interesting <a href="http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/pth08t220w.html">DC-DC buck converter</a> that&#8217;s capable of delivering 16 amps.</p>
<p>For the curious, the bot won the best design and effects award at the competition.</p>
