Summary

After making a duplicate of a robot my sister owns (julian CubeBot) I figured he needed a companion. Man's best friend is also robot's best friend.

Requirements

            <div><p>1/6" drill bit (preferably one with a hex shank)<br>Elastic cord (1.2 mm)<br>Needle with a large eye</p></div>                <p class="detail-title"><strong>Step 1</strong></p>            <div><p>Use the 1/6" drill bit and clean out the "tunnels" in preparation for the elastic cord. This is where that hex shank comes in handy. I did not attach the drill bit to my drill, I simply twisted the drill bit by hand into the pieces. Worked like a charm.</p></div>                <p class="detail-title"><strong>Step 2</strong></p>            <div><p>Thread the Elastic cord through the "tunnels" of the robot. Tie a knot in one end, pull the elastic as tight as you can without breaking it, and tie a knot in the other end. There should be 5 pieces of elastic: 4 for the feet, legs and into the body, 1 through head and into the body. Leave the cord that goes through the head and body long this is now the dog's tail. Feeding the elastic through the "tunnels" was tough. What worked for me was threading the elastic into a fat needle, pushing the needle through the piece, and pulling it through with a pair of pliers.</p></div>
