  • interact with the fridge for cheese status
  • interact with the petrol pump for petrol status
  • it needs to know where they are to go and talk to them
  • the status needs to be stored and needs to be set - Xino at each?
  • it need to be able to read the status from the fridge and the petrol pump - what sort of interface? IR remote control?

Petrol status

  • just a number!

Cheese status

  • many cheese types - each with use by date
  • Primula status is "in tube"


Motor skills

  • get motors from post office - DONE
  • simple test circuits with 12V battery and driver ICs
  • mounting the motors and designing the axle couplings
  • building the wheels : nearly done - some tweaking and securing to do
  • building the plastic chassis - what's that display board plastic material called?
    • milling the plastic
    • strong enough to carry those batteries? !!!!
  • battery mount - where?
    • perhaps move to 2x 6V - keep it flexible
