At about 4" long, 5" wide and 3½" in height, this is one “Big Bad Mutha” of a machine!
Got a little bored at trying to find my soldering iron to fix my headphones. That is, I got a little side tracked when I found my box of “Steel Tec” pieces bought from a local thrift store (now closed down) about a year or so ago. So I decided to take out some quick time and create a makeshift… “something” or another. I found some spare AA batteries and started out the adventure in building something quick and simple using the smallest of the bolds since I didn’t want to spend time tightening and untightening bolts all day. It first started off with just the two big wheels. It rolled nicely with the battery pack/forward-stop-reverse switch in my hand. I decided to add the two smaller wheels and wanted to be “hands free” so I attached the pack above the wheels. The small bolts (not really put in tight) and the fact that this was just a small adventure, the piece holding the front wheels to the base had a tendency to wobble from side to side.
Once turned on it would zip across the floor and crash into something. A quick flip of the switch to the other side, it would reverse. the loose section to the front wheels gave it the tendency to turn a bit. This would definatly be more fun it was remote controlled instead of me jogging after it once it crashed and flipping the switch to the other side by hand.
