BTW... Back in 2010 I was developing my own plans for "motorized luggage".

(None of this woosie "Top speed 8 MPH" stuff either. More like 20+kph. :wink: )

Guess I had already assembled some bits... forget why I gave up that little project. [sigh]

Well,it looks like there is enough room for my batteries... But I don't see enough room for clothes and toothbrush.


I think Terry Pratchett originated the idea of self propelled luggage in his 'Discworld" novels..
