Picture request - Milly-Ann Bug

[daveimi]

As above really, that thing is awesome! I've found bits on youtube but wondered if anyone had any pictures of the internals, specifically the hinge/steering mech.

I know it's two fibre glass domes with wooden bases & 4 drill motors. I'm not sure about the steering.

Thank you for the reply! That helps a lot! If you still one of the youtube videos just right you can see inside it all.

I'm pretty it was essentially two, two wheel drive robots attached by a 3dof hinge to allow each part to pitch, yaw and roll independently of each other.

Very useful for keeping as many wheels on the ground as possible.

Thanks for the replies! That's given me a lot to go on to get this one right!!

Just re-read this and now see what you mean! Two two-wheel-drive robots bolted together but with signals of the same receiver going to both so you could crab it, steer it, what ever you wanted.
