Carl BugejaMKII test video!
Now that I have proofed that the idea can work out, I can start designing MKIII.
PCB Robot MKIII will be made from just a pcb, magnets and a battery. This cheap robot will be ideal for swarm robotics.

might be a stupid question, but can you double up the flex boards? glue them on top of each other and make a bigger coil?
Are you sure? yes | no
Hi dave! :) the magnetic field of two coils against each other would be too weak to produce any flexing. I'm able to produce that behavior because although the coil's magnetic field is weak, it's still enough to react to a magnet which have a much stronger magnetic field.
Are you sure? yes | no
I meant it more as: having a 4 layer coil instead of a two layer coil
Are you sure? yes | no
aa ok.. yes I could glue them together but resistance would double and it will be slightly less flexible.. Using a Four layer flexpcb you could have the same number of turns in a smaller area but it is much more expensive than 2-layer and the minimum thickness is usually around 0.3mm
