Back to Basics: Building a Buggy

Although I built a handful of various types of buggies during university, I have always wanted to build another one. There is something about putting together a buggy and watching it work that is very satisfying.

I recently came across one of my old drawings from high-school of a buggy that I had wanted to build but never got around do it. So I decided to collect up some of bits and bobs and put together a very rudimentary buggy just to make my lock-down weekend a little bit exciting.

From what I remember from when I was drawing this I wanted a bunch of features on it, like;

• Pull out control panel
• Automatic docking for charging
• Use as balance-bot and
• Line following
