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.
• 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 soda cup lid base plate.
Step 2: Place 2 pieces of the straw on the soda cup lid base plate 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 onto the soda cup lid base plate so that they will hold the component & the battery in place.
Step 4: 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 5: Glue the plastic cup containment vessel to the soda cup lid base plate.
Now your home made spider trap is complete.
It should look something like this.
