The ESP8266 is a chip that turned a lot of heads recently, stuffing a WiFi radio, TCP/IP stack, and all the required bits to get a microcontroller on the Internet into a tiny, $5 module.

A YouTuber has shared his latest project, Legion Mark I, a robot that can both crawl like an insect and drive like a car.
