Fist steps

 Hero Jr has taken his first steps.  He is not so keen on a deep pile carpet, but fine on the kitchen tile floor. This is due to the steering steeper motor.  He needs something with more torque to turn the wheel on carpet.  I have ordered a 71:1 stepper and gearbox it’s quite a small motor but I’m hopeful this will work.  Next steps are to fit a cutoff switch and look at fitting the RC2014 inside.  I need to tidy up the wiring to the Ardunio as I think this will be kept to handle the control of the lower motors.  I looking at using the remaining pins to interface with a RC2014 I/O board.
