(well, the equivalent of $100...)

All of this talk about self-balancing toolboxes, crushing children at Ikea, and Kalashnikov's stream of new toys was all too much for me to handle, and my Amazon Prime reward points were burning a hole in my pocket...

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.

I predict that this will not end well. :shock:


I suggest adding logic to aim for the black car. Fixing fiberglass is so much more of a pain in the ass...

This version is tiny - way too small to wreck the 996. But if I can scale it up... :D

It would be cool to have a swarm of them working collectively. A tiny gang of robots crowd-surfing me around town seems way cooler than an electric scooter...

What is that supposed to be? Does it drive your tools after you or just balances itself?

SitRep: The kit arrived beat to complete hell - components are too destroyed to assemble. Bummer! I was looking forward to playing with this.

Back to Amazon with you!
