Got mine yesterday, and was hacking it late into the
night....
Get 20 or so #6 flat washers and some shim material (tin
can) in order to fine tune the motor drives. 9V battery life
is sadly limited, so pick up a bunch, or get some Radio
Shack NiCds. Fine tuning the drives will probably improve
battery life. My next additionswill be a 6 cell AA pack, a
breadboard, and a wall wart socket for testing....
