The Wall Hugging Ladybug uses a simple two-motor system to scurry along the wall. When motor B is on and motor A is off, the ladybug steers left towards the wall. When the sensor rod comes into contact with the wall it activates a micro switch that turns motor A on and motor B off causing it to steer away from the wall. When the ladybug steers away from the wall the sensor rod loses contact with the wall turning the micro switch off and turning motor A off and motor B back on again. The sensor and main switches come complete. This is a fun and easy-to build kit. Vacuum formed ladybug body and sturdy chassis are made from tough plastic.
