Don't ask me how this made me think of this, but wouldn't that be cool to
stick in some remotely variable resistors and make an RC walker! that be
cool, cause you could stop it on command, reverse it, turn it, and even use
it to pass the salt across the table (we've all done that haven't we, until
it steps in the gravy bowl and somebody gets pissed!). Anyway just a though!

through them and i've never ever fried a single chip, but maybe that's just
dumb luck!

motors, Nimbus uses big 5 RPM motors that would barely move under a normal
bicore, so i used big ol makeshift 3.33 uF caps to slow it down!

green = resistors for reverser
red = coupling resistors
blue = oscillation controlling resistor
You want to be changing the red and possibly the blue resistor. Try messing
with the coupling resistors first.
