* Isopods have 7 pairs of legs all pretty much the same length.

* 74** logic gates have ... 7 pairs of legs all the same length!

Coincidence? I think not!

Clearly, each isopod contains 4 logic gates. This Armadillidium vulgare has 4 AND gates. Don't forget to connect power & ground legs & use pull-down resistors on inputs.

(best practice is to simply ask the rollie to position itself in your circuit.)

Like most natural systems. they use micro-voltages, don't use standard 5V power sources.

@futurebird Which creature is the 555 timer IC?!

@CaptManiac

Since there are 8 legs it'd need to be a spider or tick.

The velvet spider seems like a good candidate for a 555 timer!
