The WANDERER is a three wheeled vehicle. Each front wheel is driven by a separate gearbox/motor. The rear has a swivel mounted trailing wheel, allowing the vehicle to change its direction of travel easily.
The WANDERER is controlled by micro switches mounted at the front of the vehicle and activated by a bumper bar. When it encounters an object one or both microswitches will operate and cause it to reverse and turn away from the object. There is a PCB and a significant number of electronic components controlling the vehicle.
