NEW GUIDE: Sentry-bot using CRICKIT & Circuit Playground Express #CRICKIT #MakeCode #MakeRobotFriend

This new guide shows you how to build your own spooky Halloween Sentry robot! All it takes is some scrap cardboard, craft supplies, a servo motor & DC motor, and CRICKIT-for-Circuit Playground Express programmed with MakeCode to bring this robotic guardian to life. In addition to basic programming concepts, this guide also demonstrates the construction of a simple mechanical movement, translating rotary motion into linear motion.

This bot is coded to be on the lookout for sounds, shadows, and vibrations. Any of these will trigger it to start looking around, flashing its lights, and moving its legs up and down.
