Pod Rover

First of all, sorry for the terrible resolution of the picture.  Young humanoid took only videos (shameful!), and I had to screenshot a picture from one of them.  Anyway, at least this project wasn't outstanding.  It featured two motors side-by-side.  The first drove the rear wheels, while the second drove a center drive shaft that ultimately turned the front wheels.  Young humanoid, after seeing an inventive idea online, decided to make a feature that would allow the rover to be controlled using one touch sensor, which you can see him holding in the video.  Holding down the touch sensor for different lengths of time or in different sequence would result in differing actions on the rover.
