The OWI Weasel Robot is a great beginner-level robot kit that teaches you
about two of the most basic robotic actions: wall hugging and line following.
With only a screwdriver and wire
cutters, you can build a robot that feels its way along a wall with a
snap-action switch or that follows a black line with its photo-sensor. Building
the Weasel robot will also show you how to make a gearbox that lets you change
gears. With the Weasel's selectable gearbox, you can choose whether it runs at a
slow, medium, or fast speed. Watch it follow the walls through a maze (can it
solve any maze?), or let it track a black line that you create with electrical
tape or a black marker.
