Tiny caterpillar robot

Thanks for your kind comments, we strive to be recognized as 'presenting ourselves poorly online' and 'being entirely unprofessional with lousy videos'.
Apparently your definition of solid engineering does not include light sensitive autonomous mobile behavior without a processor or programming in a 1" x 2" x 2" package.
If you have an example of another piece of active artwork which is handcrafted and designed by an individual from a handful of surplus electronic parts, I'd like to see it.
We are not a company per say but a husband and wife who own and operate a commercial Blueberry farm and like to create in our free time.
Our goal is to create interesting artifacts which provide awe and amusement. Every one of our customers have declared their amazement and joy upon receiving their robots.
I believe Gadget Freaks is a fun and interesting column. Please keep it up.
Thanks,
Middle Creek Merchants

Litle trinket stories are OK when there is solid engineering behind it. The referenced video is lousy with no engineering value. The company iteslf presents themselves poorly on line. Things like this and many others makes Gadget Freak a really poor segment of Design News. I would not mind having it eliminated altogeter. It is often a very unprofessional part of an otherwise professional magazine.

I would think if you check out "Middle Creek Merchants" on google you may find more information. I agree on line is not realy a story, but thats one of the crapitized new fads the "snippet". Used to be these were just used for headings but now even though they are using a medium ware huge storys take very little hard drive space or web bandwidth, we get "snipets" when we should be reading real storys. At least we get the low quality crapitized, overcompressed video clip.

Well, where is it? I'd like to read more than just one sentence.
