Description
Update: I have changed the files for the head, frame, and bottom covers. The head now has an insert for the eye so it won't have the ugly seam. I changed the frame and bottom covers to add a print in place battery door. The new files have the word updated in them. I didn't delete the original files.

This is a RC robot based on the 1929 'Buck Rogers 2429' A.D. comic strip. The RC controller is from a Coke Can RC car. The motors are 60 - 90 RPM 6V N20 gear motors. The power is provided by 3 AAA batteries.
The tracks are print in place. They are 21 links in each track section so they will fit on an A1 mini. Print out 4 track sections. Join 2 sections so you have a total length of 42 links. Remove one link for a total section length of 41 links for each side.
The hardware required is 3MM screws of various lengths: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08LVT7Y8R/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8
