Pandelphi Cub continues on the ground where flight cannot take it.

Using my extensive experience with textiles and limb architectures I'm now finalising designs for a mechanically simple soft robot that contains the same touch-sense, avoidance and telemetry as the drone does, and also carries an Alexa based Echo Dot 2 in a pouch the same way.

It differs from the drone's behaviour only in that its movements can be slaved to another Cub in combination with conferencing, and its security functions are limited to room-guard rather than patrol.

Conferencing in Slave mode means the video from one cub is streamed to a remote tv, and it receives telemetry from the remote unit, which can be another Cub/TV or a phone/tablet etc.

This enables children too young to access Pandelphi's features via Alexa to interact with it on a level they do understand. In Social Play...

Using ten servos to control the legs and head of a soft toy in telemetry mode should be relatively simple with the funds and time allotted for the entry this year, and the interface will be needed for the drone, which is also relatively simple.

I'm using an X-Y shoulder joint and a single elbow, and a single Y Hip to accomplish walking, the remaining two servos will be used to pan and tilt the head, containing the camera.
