Keep them dogies rollin…

April 25th, 2007 by Jonathan

Good news everyone! We have a rolling orb as of last night. It doesn’t steer yet and the drivetrain needs some work, but she rolls under her own power. Videos up Real Soon Now.

This came together impressively quickly: I am consistently awed by this team. A big thanks to everyone — you know who you are.
