Button Bot

Button Bots were first sighted after the great arcade factory escape of ‘86.  

Their continued survival in the wild has baffled robot experts.  With literally 

only half-a-mind, a Button Bot is dependent on its buttons for sustenance.  

Button Bots are fed directly through arcade button presses.   Once fed, the 

button brain wakes up for few moments of scrambled output.

The following is a list of parts and assembly instructions to help you build your

very own Button Bot.  This project is geared towards advanced hobbyists

but everybody and everyone is encouraged to give it a try.  

The majority of the printed parts in this build were all skeined at 2 

extra shells and 8% infill.  Experiment with these settings to get 

the best results for your parts.

Good luck!
