What kind of motors did you use? Was it enough power to mobilize you? Controls?? Details.. I want details..

Well we did use the KOP parts to make something ridable........our robot. I remember when Olivia rode our 2001 robot down Porter St. She had the controls tethered to the robot.

I know the answer you're actually looking for. Something to ride on built from the KOP other than a robot. Knowing Elgin I wouldn't be surprised if he would try to build a Segway from the parts!
