Finished my 1st robot ($50 robot tutorial)

Got inspired to learn about robotics. When I found this site, i couldn't pass up an opportunity to get my feet wet on robotics for $50 (although it actually cost me more like $80 total). After a few trials and tribulations, I got everything working correctly. Here's my first robot (photovore bot). Looks like a crab. I give major props to my friend Glen Henke who designed and fabricated the body.

Nice, 1 thing though, add bigger wheels, will make it go faster, a lot faster, you have like .5 in diameter wheels right now. Also please do make a video.

Yes it is kinda slow. Thanks for the advice on the wheels. I will post some video when I can get my hands on my brothers camcorder.
