This is a test platform that will eventually become a 30 pound steel bot. The entire bot spins with one wheel and it steers by rapidly turning the motor on and off at just the right point of rotation to cause it to drift in the direction the operator specifies. Rich Olson did all the electronics on this bot, without him it would just sit there ;)

  • Yes, there's a little bit of strobing from the framerate of the camera.
