This past week, I built up a Tamiya chassis that I plan on
using as a foundation for my next series of projects with motion
control/robotics. It is a very basic kit
and the price is certainly right at less than $20. My daughters wanted to help, but it is a bit
above their current skill set. I did let
my 7 year old seat some of the screws.
As the reviews said it probably went together in less than 2
hours (but it took me 3 nights, given numerous other responsibilities). The directions were straightforward and it
was a lot of fun to put it together.
Once assembled, my girls had fun building some courses for it to drive
over.
My next step will be to replace the switch & battery box
with the Arduino board and see if I can write some scripts to move it. If successful, I will get started on remote
control.
