Wall Racers was made by 2 cheap (and crap driving) RC cars. I gave them sensors (SRF05), tuned with an extra battery, and gave them own logic / "robot-brains" (Picaxe 28).

Primary target is to stay close to the wall, drive fast, and overtake the other :)

I would love to make this as a toy, we could add all sorts of cool features, so if anybody out there..? :)

You know where to find me:

do you have a remote controll controlling it or is it doing it by itself?

[fritslyneborg]

it is driving by itself, that is the whole deal :)

They are very good, i never saw something like this before. Hope they wont kill us? ;)

I need a couple of those to wear my cats out so they'll sleep at night, LOL! They would go mental chasing those cars around the house. :))

Why do you have so much salt at your house? :)

Just bought all the parts to build one of these! $200AUD but should be worth it! Very keen to get back into Picaxe

Those would seriously freak my cat out. Very cool.

Thumbs up if you'd rather watch these things race around your floor than go to a NASCAR race.
