Step 22 - Making Whiskers!:
We’re going to make two sets of whiskers for your Herbie the Mousebot. Take your time, and you’ll have
whiskers any cyber-rodent would be proud to own. Make the bends smooth - you can tweak them later.
22A: Bend the sensor wire in half 22B: Bend each end down toward the 1st bend 22C: You should end up with a nice ‘W’ shape
22D: Grab the middle bend & ends 3mm (3/16”) down
from the end...
22E: ...and bend them up 90° up
Step 23 - Installing the Whiskers!: Now that you have two sets of whiskers, let’s get them installed!
Now that you’ve
done it once, do it
once more so you
have two sets!
23A: Slide the whiskers through the sensor hole 23B: Poke the group of bends up through the mounting hole. Keep the two
long whiskers untangled as it will be easier to bend them later.
Keep ends aligned!
