Knocked this together earlier. The two motors I had lying around.
Battery is a CR2032 in a holder desoldered from an old motherboard.
Complete crap for our project - rated maximum continuous discharge 3mA!
Good enough for a proof of concept to make Richard Crowder happy,
though. Rubber wheels were cut from sheet using a custom-machined punch
tool! It's quite cute - the front of the board is 19mm wide.

Moves at a fair whack, but not for long on one battery - discharging the
2032 at ~100mA flattens it fast! There's no electronics on there yet.
Perhaps a job for the weekend.
