Soda bot

This is a kit that I got from the Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C. for only 15 dollars. I dont know if it is really a robot because its just a motor and a battery with some plastic. The robot is supposed to just walk around but, I upgraded the motor to a faster one, which allows me to carry full cans of soda instead of just an empty one. It has a thing called "cams" instead of wheels which create a sense of walking. I may swap out them with wheels from a old rc car. I dont know what is in the future for the soda bot, but I may add a arduino nano and some sensors. For know its just a dumb robot that has no sense of its environment. If you want to buy one here is a link to one: http://www.amazon.com/Toysmith-4M-Tin-Can-Robot/dp/B0014WO96Y

Bring me a soda
