I have a Nitro Menace (http://shop.lego.com/product.asp?p=8649) that I bought
because I want to turn it into something. I've been thinking about an RC car, but a
line follower would be cool. I don't think it would be super-fast, and I'm not sure
it would fit the Chibots rules, but it would be fun...
I don't think it will do 6 inch radius turns, but I'm sure I can fix that.
Well, that's just what I need. Another project.
