RIS 2.0 Train Bot

With Christmas approaching, young humanoid wanted to build a machine that navigated around the Christmas tree on a wooden track.  The result was the very simple RIS 2.0 Train Bot, which was powered by a single motor.  Young humanoid ended up having to add a rubber band to one of its drive wheels to supplement much-needed traction for getting around rough parts in the twisting track.
