Vanity Shots

I'm especially proud of the custom LEGO drive train I made, with rack-and-pinion steering, and with the drive and servo motors sitting in a very compact formation. It's also a modular design where the cover, the circuit and the circuit mounting rack can be removed and put back on easily.
