But mini Dozers would take the fun out of it. Part of the joy of this is that it weighs 200 lbs., can do a nice burnout, travels at speeds that are decent for outdoors (but terrifying indoors), and has a steel frame that we have witnessed destroying our 2x4 low goal without thinking twice about it. The blade is non-functional, but the name Dozer is very well suited.
Honestly, if anyone has leftover kitbot parts from 2011-12 they can build the same thing. The only things that didn't come from the kit of parts was the frame, the non-marring wheels, the battery, some wiring, and a relay block we use for testing. The steel was donated, so I figure we have about $150-$175 into this project and everything else was recycled.
Although...a mini Dozer would probably be fun too...I just can't handle another project right now.
