This is our "Plybot", we just made him for something to do and we test code, and devices on it

we used some IFI railing, 2 of the RC motors, and some spare parts we had laying around.

My team's been playing around with one of our older bots and controlling it with an old remote we found in our workshop

its pretty fun... although with the remote we almost took out one of our mentors.... it had a slight delay on when it stopped

yeah we almost knocked over a table and computer, it's hard to stop.
