Penguin Boebot!
A Penguin Boebot!
You can make a tiny Boe-Bot out of a Penguin
and get double the fun. Take the boards and
fold one back over the other. Then modify two
old worn miniature Penguin servos for continuous
rotation. A couple bottle caps make good wheels.
The attached photo gives an idea of the layout.
