In this case, the tether is the controller&#8217;s USB cable, and Tilley attached the rumble motors to a pair of wheels. Suckerbot&#8217;s list of parts comes to $8.96, but the real genius is the Chupa Chups. Tilley needed a way for the robot to sense if it ran into something, so he stuck a lollipop in each joystick. Whenever the Suckerbot bumps something, the weight of the sucker tips the joystick forward, and a signal is sent to the processor. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Articles about Lollybot (formerly known as &#8220;Suckerbot&#8221;):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"These $10 Robots Will Change Robotics Education\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.com\/design\/2012\/09\/afron-winners\" target=\"_blank\">Wired Magazine<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Winners of $10 Robot Challenge Announced \" href=\"http:\/\/spectrum.ieee.org\/automaton\/robotics\/diy\/winners-of-10-robot-challenge-announced?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+IeeeSpectrum+%28IEEE+Spectrum%29\" target=\"_blank\">IEEE Spectrum<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Challenge accepted: Build a robot for $10 \" href=\"https:\/\/www.engineeringforchange.org\/news\/2012\/10\/09\/challenge_accepted_build_a_robot_for_10.html\" target=\"_blank\">engineering FOR CHANGE<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"How to Build a $10 Robot\" href=\"http:\/\/www.popularmechanics.com\/technology\/engineering\/robots\/how-to-build-a-10-dollar-robot#slide-2\" target=\"_blank\">Popular Mechanics\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3d_p7U-Pbq0\" rel=\"wpdevart_lightbox_video\">Ken Goldberg, &#8220;Cloud Robotics &amp;
