I like the idea of the AntWeight robots.
Saw them at MakerFaire, open plans, cheap,  

https://twitter.com/msraynsfords remote control cakes are also cool! (esp8266/wifi based)

Lets build some (cakes or antweight robots or both) !

https://msraynsford.blogspot.co.uk/2018/01/esp8266-detour.html is a bit better link for the rc cakes :)

Yes, apologies for the lack of information. It's something I've been working on for the other cakes for quite a while but the actual buggies were only finished up on Wednesday before the show.
As you've noted they're open source though and it doesn't take much to string a couple of servos to a wemos D1 for super cheap bots. Just don't forget to tag me when you make improvements to my shonky code. (first job is to add a third servo and a flip button :) )

Martin,
I don't mind. Think I lost the code for the two wheeld thing I was making(also using a wemos but with one of those l9110 h bridges.)...probably because I uploaded but didn't save the sketch.

Your tutorials are pretty cool already.
Now I know the cars are servos..that tells me a lot.
