Movie! (344KB) Low Resolution.
Shows action on a 12" square black panel with masking tape for a border, ie a test panel.


First Look at new 'bot.


Finished! (Almost anyway)
Here you see the screwed-together polycarbonate box.
The floor is separate and attached to the frame.
The batteries are 3v lithium (2x).
The weight is real close to 100grams.



Rear View shows Zipzap truck motors (Red) & one of the gear train (yellow).
There's another gear (Red) between the yellow and the wheel gear.
Motor assembly is removable as a unit. Funny wires in back of wheel gears are the same as the other 'bots.



Bottom View showing those mouse sensors. Also seen are the Zipzap wheel gears.
Two center screws (vertical) are the floor to frame screws.



The front panel switch, IR-sensor (unknown brand) and crystal (14.3MHz).
