LabRatTM: Miniature robot for students, researchers, and hobbyists

—LabRatTM is an autonomous, self-contained mobile robot kit with batteries, motors, two bumper whisker sensors, and three infrared proximity sensors that double as channels for "Rat-to-Rat" communication. The LabRatTM design is completely open source, including software examples and libraries.
