not all in one
just one in one ;p
in concept it had to be just one part of every thing, but i failed ;[
i wanted just one wheel, but i had to attach a couple at the back to let it go smoothly and i had to use to cables to connect motor to battery [i had an option to put something similar on the other side of wheel to counter balance the battery - it would be stupid]
except that:
1 leading wheel
1 motor
1 battery
1 body
;]
i connected 2 CDs with 6 same width sticks form a plastic model kit frame plus another longer one to make the axle for the wheel. i glued them with glue meant for the kit itself ;]
then i appended that black thingy from CD-ROM drawer’s motor to one side of the wheel.
i cut a body from a piece of polystyrene and i appended it with a motor.
i linked the body and the wheel, connected the battery and found out that i need another wheel at the back, cause it’s not that smooth to go without. few minutes later i have had ready to go vehicle!
to run it, all you need is just to connect a battery to the motor.
if you want it to go the opposite direction, just connect a battery the other way round
it just goes forward or backward ;p
- Actuators / output devices: 1 motor drive
- Control method: connect a wire to motor ;]
- Power source: 9v battery
- Target environment: quite smooth flat surfaces
