We have some important news to share about HackSpace: Issue 81 was the last issue of HackSpace as a standalone magazine, and HackSpace has become part of The MagPi, the official Raspberry Pi magazine. Starting with issue 145, We’ll be adding pages to The MagPi to make room for the stories and tutorials you’ve come to expect from HackSpace.

Jeremy Cook has been making versions of Theo Jansen’s Strandbeests for years – here’s the latest iteration. It’s made of a clear polycarbonate frame designed in a 2D CAD package called DraftSight. It’s powered by two motors (one for each side), tank style.
The Clear Crawler is also radio-controlled, with an Arduino Nano as the on-board controller, and an Arduino Uno and joystick as the remote control unit. The two Arduinos connect through a pair of nRF24L01+ radio modules.
More videos showing how the Clear Crawler was made can be found on Jeremy's YouTube channel.
