This autonomous vehicle will patrol its surroundings without human intervention. The geared motors, including wheels, are remarkably affordable and easily accessible online. As it navigates through space, the device will not hesitate to collide with obstacles in its path. Upon each collision, the vehicle will alter its course and begin anew. No sophisticated microprocessor or electronics are required; instead, a simple battery and switch suffice. The switch flips automatically upon impact, ensuring a seamless response. The motor direction must be correctly calibrated to ensure optimal performance. If the direction is incorrect, simply swap the motor wires connected to the switch. The bumper shields are linked by a sliding rod that triggers the switch upon contact. For children, this device provides endless entertainment as they engage in a thrilling game of chase. Its unpredictable movements make it a challenging target to catch.
