Got my hands on a power wheel and since a few robots here are based on power wheel motors I figured I would pull it apart and start a new robot project.
10/28/13 - Hacksawed the rear section off and debating if I should keep as-is or remove the motor assemblies. Most likely I'll pull it apart and build a base and probably replace the hard plastic wheels for something with more grip. I'm wanting to build a "pet" type robot and I have a sheet of plexiglass I can use for the base. Just have to see how the wheels attach and how the gears work to figure out a way to mount to the base.
Whatever it's told to do!
