Vids coming soon

When I get a sec, I’ll video it getting stuck in a corner.

I hope that every one can control their excitment for such a visual bonanza…

Looks like a new hybrid car

Looks like a new hybrid car Did you add the clear plastic wrap arounds or were they part of the original vacuum cleaner?

Are you making up your own PCBs now?

PCB = piece of cake! - snazzy too.

I added the plastic bumpers. I use my griller to warm the plastic enough to be deformable and it’s pretty easy to do.

hmm, one day I might write a tip/wt about heat-shaping acrylic, if one doesn’t exist already.

I make my own pcbs where it’s handy - In this case the circuit for the IR sensors is small enough so I didn’t have to, but I used Eagle to help me minimise the size of the circuits. The picaxe and the 74AC240 motor driver inside are both mounted on boards that I etched myself.
