(Sorry bout there only being a few pictures i built this then decided i wanted to make an instructable)
I dubbed this project the knex kart because it uses a few knex pieces and it is and alliteration. This is 1.0 because i am planning on making more. This first robot is simple it moves straight and turns on two leds.

this is my first instructable soo please give some constructional critisism yada yada

just re-do the instructable, with better pictures! oh and those motors are really inefficient, take a apart a cd drive, better motors there!
