Thanks Jona,
Do you mean I should build a small walker that carries power and uses a gear
motor? I could definitely work on that. It would be a little bigger, but I
could try to keep it compact and build a little coolness into the design :).
Also, the instructions for Twirp are on Brickshelf now, here's the link:
