Twitter Roach is a modification of RoboRoach, a device that controls cockroaches with remote control.


RoboRoach controls movement by stimulating tactile sensations of cockroaches. (Please note the cockroach is out on the whole because the image below ※, please be careful if you are not good)


I made this RoboRoach operable from TwitterTwitter Roachis.


Posting with a hash tag such as #TweetRoachLeft or #TweetRoachRight can move the cockroach left or right according to the hash tag.


Pictures which actually control cockroaches with RoboRoach are from the following.

This is RoboRoach which can be operated with remote control.

Then, I changed the direction of travel suddenly.


When I tried drawing the screen, I was operating with the remote control like this. Twitter Roach can do the same thing from Twitter's post.
