CarBot (Part 1: Circuit)

The goal of this project is to create a moving bot using a parallel circuit with two motors. This is the first step to creating any type of wheeled robot.

This is a simple parallel circuit with two motors, a switch and a battery.

For now, the bot will only be able to move in one direction whilst the switch turns on the power. It currently includes:

  • A switch
  • Three AA batteries
  • Battery holder
  • Two motors
  • A third wheel for balance
