I'll try to get it working so i can shoot it on my dads reall video camera.this is because it goes so fast that the whole robot tips over. now i have a 9 volt with a 5 volt regulator hooked up to it and a second bumper switch. so, how do i lower the voltage?

Take a look at this walkthrough on voltage regulation. I found it really helpful.

If you don`t like reading maybe robotics or electronics isn`t the right hobby for you..

nice! in your main picture i only saw one bumper switch, get another so it can turn different directions every time!

in your video i couldnt see your bot in action!! i know your kodiac is dumb so just get like a flashlight and use that as a spotlight so we can see how awesome your first bot is!!!

it was taken on my kodack digital camera.thats why it is so dark. i also cant post any more pics. they wont show up. i cant post any more video until i reduse the voltage to make it go slower.(i added new batteries and now it goes to fast).
