lol

i made one of these!  ;D

the steam engine (i mage myself) went to a generator that supplied power to my moter that allowed it to go forward

then with a bumper switch at the front. if it hit something it went backwards for a few seconds, then continued forward

No microcontroler...

i might try to find it again...get it up and running again...

I wouldn't have a clue were it went

I know a ton about steam engines!!! ;)
I went to that site before if that kind of power could be used instead of motors, you'd have hydralic strength pistons on a minature robot, imagine where THAT could go!

OK I know I said this in another post but, this is the coolest thing I've seen ever :D

I always liked the art of steam robots in scifi movies/covers and it looks so badass in real life.
