It looks like it would feel really natural to control one by tipping the Microbit. Having watched your video, I feel like I want to build one, but I&amp;#39;m resisting the temptation (so far) in case I turn into Dubbie and can&amp;#39;t stop building them!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why did you have the Microbit taped to the ruler? Was that just to support the weight of the batteries or did you find your hands were interfering with the Bluetooth?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=7069&amp;AppID=232&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: BBC MicroBit Robot Bonanza</title><link>https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/project14/month-of-robots/b/blog/posts/bbc-microbit-robot-bonanza</link><pubDate>Wed, 22 May 2019 11:39:56 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:becb6b6a-0ef6-4778-be1d-c788d6253a43</guid><dc:creator>dubbie</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;Interpreet,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An impressive set of mobile robots.
