This is the new thread to the Creeper build. A 5ft Minecraft Creeper robot counterpart, made by non-other than me Techno. Minecraft is a hot topic these days and so I thought id combine the worlds best 2 things: Minecraft and Ez-robot

After researching the topic I found I'm making the third creeper robot in the world. The first one I found was a monster 2-metre tall robot that ran automatously. The second one was a 1-2ft tall creeper made as a high school project, same concept.

Now mine. In between the sizes of both current creepers. Currently 18" wide, 3'7" tall(no head)

Hey Tech, I recommend some type of ball bearing caster. They have a smooth true 360 range as opposed to the traditional 180/180 up down/left right that standard casters have. After a few times changing directions, you'll be glad you used them.
