We’re used to the concept of open-source hardware, but it’s very often more seen in theory than in practice. This Robo-Bunny, by Kevin McAleer, is based on PicoCat v2, which was itself based on OpenCat. It’s had a new head, new legs, and a fluffy tail added, and it’s controlled by the Pimoroni Servo 2040, which powers up to 18 servos. Turn to our interview with Kevin on page 38 for more on kevsrobots.com and the brilliant things he’s doing.
