First attempt of a Scorpion design by redesigning the Excavator Robot (a robot design found inside the product manual). This design took advantage of the scanning feature of the Excavator, although the programming is different for the two robots. Another Scorpion robot was made using legs instead of wheels to further resemble a real scorpion.
