This is a simple robot that I made for my cousin, it only uses 2 LDRs, 2 geared motors, and a 555 timer IC.

Schematic I found from the internet.

There's not much to see on the inside because i DeadBugged the 555 Timer.

 

EDIT: As of July 25, 2012 this robot no longer belongs to me. It has been shipped off to Chicago to give company to my cousin.
