For my spider trap project, so far I have written up step by step how-to instructions on assembling my homemade spider trap kit from scratch with everyday materials that we use. So far all I have are the instructions. They will soon be followed by pictures to be uploaded soon. Here is what I have written so far:

To make a home made robotic spider trap, you will need the following:

A 16 oz plastic cup which will act as the containment vessel
A plastic soda cup lid which will act as the base plate cover
A 3” diameter cutout of a circular wooden board which will act as the base plate
A plastic straw cut into 4 pieces which will act as the component & battery holder
A working electronic component with 2 LED lights & a photocell
A 9 volt battery

Step 1: Take the electronic component along with the 9 volt battery attached to it & place it on the circular wooden base plate.

Step 2: Place 2 pieces of the straw parallel to each other so that the battery fits in between. Place the component alongside the inner piece of straw & the other 2 pieces of straw at the top & bottom of the component.

Step 3: Glue all the straws in place so that they will hold the component & the battery in place.

Step 4: Glue the circular wooden base plate to the plastic soda cup lid base plate cover.

Step 5: Cut out a small rectangular hole at the bottom of the plastic cup containment vessel & fold back. This will act as the trap door for the robotic spider.

Step 6: Glue the plastic cup containment vessel to the soda cup lid base plate cover. Now your home made spider trap is complete.

That is all for now, I will update you as soon as I can with photos to complement the instructions so that you get a better understanding of how to assemble your own homemade spider trap kit. Thank you for reading! Bye now!
