I have read several other books on robots and electronics, but this is the first that isn’t a complete waste of paper.

I have built the circuit on a solderless breadboard without the motors and using a wall wart instead of a 9V battery. It works quite nicely.

There is however a wall I have hit. Motors cost like $50 for gear heads. So I suppose the robot will be put on hold until then.
