Finally getting around to writing up some MOCs...

I wish I could take credit for this remarkable invention, but in fact I got the
idea from here. Not having any
instructions for this one, I made my own, and tried to make it a bit more
streamlined in the process. (It’s worth looking at this person’s other youtube
videos - there are some very interesting things - is it anyone here?)
It moves around, avoiding obstacles in its path, but it does so with only a
single motor and no electronic components. (Like
this one and
this one). Power is supplied to a
differential, which can drive either the 4 wheels together with the outer
Hailfire ring, or can make the wheels change direction. Because the latter has
more friction, it goes in a straight line until the ring is prevented from
moving, when it changes direction.
Enjoy! Alexander

| That is absolutely fantastic! It should be something that every mechanical engineering student has to build in lab. Just amazing! Scott (15 years ago, 28-Dec-09, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

| An excellent adaptation of a fantastic idea! Thanks for sharing - especially the mpd. BTW, it would be a good idea to include unofficial parts in the mpd. You can do that using MPDwizard ((URL) This way your mpd will remain readable even if (...) (15 years ago, 28-Dec-09, to lugnet.technic)
