obstacle climber
This will climb over quite surprising obstacles. Belt drive from motor to central gear pulley, then two more belt drives, one to front, one to back, this means that the front and back can rotate independantly. Works even better if you make a paper band which goes right round the car with bubble wrap on the inside and outside.

cheap motors: order code 23010 for some reason you have to 'product search' twice
