Jeremy Cook shares how this little robot by Hannu Hell features a tail-mounted FPV camera that will take video instead of sting you.
The robot is certainly cute, and its “scorPIon” moniker is a clever play on its Raspberry Pi Zero W controller. The Pi gives it the ability to interface with a smart device via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi for control, and it can stream video from its tail for FPV capabilities. It uses a dedicated UPS battery supply for the Raspberry Pi, while servos are powered by a 7.4 V 1300mAH LiPo Battery. This dual-battery setup is somewhat optional, but it mitigates a few hassles.
