The hardest part in building Stiquito is crimping the nitinol, and this is also the hardest part to teach. I have therefore started urging builders to use screws instead of crimps. Screws do not hold as well as crimps over time, but in the short term they are easier to adjust.

I (Jim Conrad) am not the inventor of Stiquito, but I took the inventor's idea (Jonathan Mills) and made it easier to build. In the first version of Stiquito, you would have to cut plastic, drill holes in it, and glue it together. This was hard to do. I created a single piece of plastic which helps the builder from having to drill and glue.

The Educational, PC Parallel Port Controller, and Analog Controller kits are sold from our website (follow this link). This are the only known sources of these kits.

Smooth surfaces do not work well. Something a little rough is good. A sheet of paper is good, or even 600 grit sandpaper. You may want to add some weight to Stiquito to allow it to dig into the paper. Oh, make sure the feet are at the correct angle (110 degrees).

Yes. Just install the required libc5 libraries, from the oldlibs section (containing old packages included for compatibility with older applications).

Prior to departing for a viewing trip, please ensure that you have arrangements in place to pay 50% of the purchase price. This being the sum of money required by most Builders/Developers within 30 days of your visit to Spain. When you have paid your 3,000 Euro deposit, the property of your choice will be removed from the market and the price fixed to safeguard against any price increases. At this stage the Builder/Developer will require you to provide confirmation of your funding arrangements.

You can buy a Stiquito repair kit from our website (follow this link). You can also visit a local hobby shop to get wire and aluminum. Nitinol is sold here and also sold by Dynalloy, Inc. (but in large quantities).

Obviously they need to be patient to complete a happy, walking robot! There are many things they learn, like there is a cost/effort relationship in building robots. A more expensive robot could be build in a shorter time (i.e. Lego Mindstorm).

It is always recommended to uninstall old versions first. However, it is not a requirement. If there only have been a few small changes between your old and the new version, then you can just install the new version on top of the old version. That should work fine, without any problems. If there have been major changes, then the installer will automatically prompt you that you should uninstall first.

If your putting a Clear View kit into a vehicle that had a defroster the rear window will have the original grids on the glass. Installing the Clear View kit requires that the glass be CLEAN so it is a good idea to remove the old grids. The vertical side bars can stay in place.

Yes, roads and bridges can be built. A road gives troops a movement bonus, making them critical on larger maps. Bridges will be required to move troops over otherwise impassable rivers.

Building a new kernel was originally pretty much a required step in a FreeBSD installation, but more recent releases have benefited from the introduction of a much friendlier kernel configuration tool. When at the FreeBSD boot prompt (boot:), use the -c flag and you will be dropped into a visual configuration screen which allows you to configure the kernel's settings for most common ISA cards.

I generally take my dogs for their first run at about four months of age. This is to start getting them used to being a sled dog. It always amazes me how quickly they take to it. They are usually at least a year old before they start to give tours with the big dogs.
