Tote bot

As my final project for this year, we are going to take a small grey game tote and turn it into a robot that pulls the " weeping angel" on you. For those who don't know what that is, basically, it'll follow you around and when you turn around it'll freeze in place, or drop to the ground and not move,depending on how complicated I want to make it. Dropping to the ground will require pneumatics parts that we don't have. It will look pretty much the same as a regular tote when its finished. Except with wheels, of course. Any ideas or helpful hints as to what I should use would be greatly appreciated. I am going to be using the old cRIO four slot and the old control system parts. The only problem is the drive system. The rest I can handle.
