Step 23 - 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.
23A: Bend the sensor wire in half 23B: Bend each end down toward the 1st bend 23C: You should end up with a nice ‘W’ shape
23D: Grab the middle bend & ends 3mm (3/16”)
down from the end...
23E: ...and bend them up 90° up
Step 24 - 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!
24A: Slide the whiskers through the sensor hole
24B: 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!
