Hello,

You should be able to use any chassis that uses small DC motors. You can take a look at project 2, which is very similar to sample project 1, but uses LEGO motors instead. There are many small gearboxes or gearmotors out there that you can use, and as long as the current and voltage requirements are within the motor controller specs, you just need to find something that works for you.

Hello,

Sure, you could put a (really) small vacuum cleaner on the chassis, but I don’t think you would get much useful vacuuming out of it!
