okay folks,
i fell in love with the TYDM from fritsl, the version II ist so amazing, i simply wanted to build one myself. so i started wit the tutorial (thanks fritsl, your tutorials and tricks are really helpful!). only problem: it's not very easy to get the right parts here in germany, so i ordered some stuff in the uk (which was delivered VERY fast), some stuff at solarbotics (est. end of july :) and some other parts from italy. but i didn't want to wait for the delivery, so i went shopping and bought the 'essential' parts from a local dealer.there was no geared motor, so i bought two 'vario' transmissions that can be adjusted. and some really big wheels (the biggest i found!). and then i started. everything is mounted on a fat paperboard. the balance is not optimal bu it'll do for now. the next days i'll mount some led's and maybe an old speaker if i find one. maybe i'll visit my parents on weekend and will have a look ath the big LEGO-box, that stuff could be quite useful...
