                                                       Head

                                   3/4" dowel



                                                      Body
                                   Arm
                                                                      3 cardboard supports







                                                                     Base




                                    Motorized base
                                                                            18"



                                                                                      A.

                              shows the wheels I used for Questor. Another good source for
                              motorized wheels is children’s ride-on toys. They already have
                              the motors and wheels mounted to a frame (as well as the bat-
                              teries) and can be used as is, or removed and mounted on your
                              robot base. The main drawback of using ride-on toys is they
                              lack a steering system. This is a critical area that you must
                              design into your base.
