Magnetic Hexbug

A test of a hexbug with magnetic feet. Need to work on balancing traction and torque but it is a great first attempt.

The idea is great, but get some stronger magnets, and it'll be easier for it to go up. :D

Stronger magnets make it harder to move. I tried.

Use neodymium magnets, they are real strong. for traction, coat each magenet in a thin layer of silcon sealant, really good grip and strong mangets and your onto a winner!

coating them in silicon a bit fiddly or messy?

place all the magnet on a flat surface so that the side you attaching to the bug is face down, spary the mags with spary on plaster in a can from a drug store, I sparyed the back of a tv remote and it had a rubbery feel, now it does not slip off the arm of the sofa!
