Step 10Build Improvements
I had some ideas after building this that can improve performance and building time:
1. Use a heavy duty motor controller.
2. Use a big metal pulley on the motor to keep the belt from slipping.
3. If your wire is too big for the holes in the LCD board, solder them to the pads, not through the holes (I tried to trim the wires down to do inside the hole and they broke easily).
4. Take everything apart before drilling into something.
5. Always make pilot holes.
6. Use some old Powerwheels motors along with relays to control the direction instead of the motor controller.
7. Use a chain and sprockets instead of a belt and pulleys.
