This is the robot I used for my book. It has pretty much the same components as Feynman3, but is smaller and is more stable.

This is the sonar distribution board I used in Feynman5. The board has two 5V regulators, an on off switch, 5 RJ11 and one RJ45 connectors. It also has 14 connector .100" connector pins as well as a power LED. This board solved all of my sensor connector problems.
