“The Wall Hugging Mouse races along the wall in a zig-zag manner. When the sensor rod makes contact with the wall it activates the circuit switch which produces an alternating on/off sequence, turning one motor on while turning the other motor off. The sensor and main switches come complete. This is a fun and easy-to-build kit.” Cost Associated Contributed by: kstubbsRobotshop.us Robot Kits (expand) http://www.robotshop.us/robot-kits.html
