My Little Red Wagon-Bot (I know the name is pretty weak, sorry 'bout that)

I've been lurking here for a while, and have been tossing around ideas in my head-- hoping to come up with something (somewhat) original to share with this awesome community.

While wondering around a Walgreens, I spotted this little red wagon on clearance, and realized I had found a chassis for my robot.

The wagon is much smaller than the standard Radio Flyer (the traditional red wagon), but it struck me as being just the right size for a household bot.

I have absolutely no clue what exactly it's going to do, but figuring that out should be fun.

Here's what I have figured out about it so far:

-It will use a single motor to drive the rear wheels, and a servo to handle steering the front wheels. This will be my first time venturing beyond skid steering, so that will be interesting.

-It will use an arduino clone for the "brains".

-It will most likely use a Sharp GP2D12 Infrared Range Finder to keep it from crashing into things (it's cheap, and I've already got one sitting around.

Beyond that, I will pretty much be figuring out things as I go.

Wish me luck!
