Magic Mike II Hack

Last night I worked on how to steer the wheel assembly.  I always liked how old toys incorporated this type of motion, once it bumps into something, it just changes direction.  I attached a servo arm to mine so I can steer the direction I want to go.  The motor ran nicely using 5v and the roboShield motor output control.

I trigger the message using his Ultrasonic vision

The Ultra sonic sensor mounting went well inside Magic Mike’s head.   I have his head put back together and all the servers mounted back into his body. I’ve programmed roboShield to move the arms and head through a test sequence. 

Here I am preparing to add an ultrasonic sensor to the factory eye plate.  I won't be able to use the red eye cover to make it work properly.
