You basically have to ignore the internals and mount motors to the outside. Still, it's doable, as these instructions from 1984 demonstrate. Probably can make something far better today. https://archive.org/details/color-computer-magazine-1984-04 The internals however are quite fascinating on their own and an amazing accomplishment of mechanical engineering for a toy. | ||
