In this step you must make a system to moves the robot you can make it easily by adding some gears to a simple small motor, then connect it to a shaft and assemble it two wheels.

  I like this. Reminds me of my youth, building a line following robot with a car battery and two window regulator motors from an old Lincoln.
  It would be interesting to try it with tilt switchs (**MERCURY is BAD kids**) and perhaps make two stages of power, voltage divider between cells for those times when it tilts beyond a certain range the additional voltage is switched on.
  Also would be neat to try a magnetic pendulem with reed switchs.

Good Job.

but you would need a spdt tilt switch... i think this switch is better because of its immediate response and its adjustable. You can't adjust the force of gravity on the tilt sensor...
