You'll fill in the rest with a power supply, microcontroller board, and motor controller. The differential drive (two separately driven wheels) allows for a near zero turning radius while the high-strength aluminum alloy body plus high-quality high-speed motors make it suitable for flat indoor surfaces. It's adorably small but has an extra layer for more storage and comes in fashionable Adafruit black!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe of course have suggestions to run the motors like the \u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/adafruit-tb6612-1-2a-dc-stepper-motor-driver-breakout-board\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eTB6612 breakout\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/dc-motor-stepper-featherwing-add-on-for-all-feather-boards\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMotor FeatherWing\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/adafruit-motor-stepper-servo-shield-for-arduino-v2-kit\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMotor Shield for Arduino\u003c\/a\u003e, or \u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/adafruit-dc-stepper-motor-hat-for-raspberry-pi-mini-kit\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMotor HAT for Raspberry Pi\u003c\/a\u003e.
