Today's uber-simple bot is an ugly but quite functional duckling using an 08M2. Quick prototype shown here. We're going to 3D print an improved version of this chassis to use in a robot camp. Two 9g servos, one continuous rotation drives, one steers. And a 1 PPR mechanical encoder. Easy peezy, works every time. Just have to calibrate servo turning radius to match up to a 360 degree turn with an integer multiple of my wheel circumference. In this case, 12 wheel revolutions per circle. Accelerates & decelerates. First test was this figure 8 course. Bot will soon have IR and ultrasonic sensors and audio output. Maybe light tracking too.
Video thumbnail shows bare chassis before the electronics were added. So hideous that it's beautiful.
