Hi Cay,

Your labs are really cool!

In terms of replacements for the car and robot,  you may find some models in the
Props gallery that will be useful.  For example, there is a RedRover model that is
based on the very real Red Rover robot being developed and tested here at CMU as
part of the Google challenge.

Unfortunately, we still haven't managed to construct enough models for a Vehicles
collection in the gallery ... but it is "under construction."

Best regards,
Wanda
