__KC01__ (AKA "Kaycee Oh-One", for the ''__K__iwiBot __C__ircuitPlayground Model __1__'') is a ["mini" sized|RobotWeightClasses] robot that without batteries weighs only 163 grams. It's currently an unfinished design and has no sensors, but it has ''plenty of possibilities'' in this regard. See below.

It's currently an unfinished design and has two short-range Sharp infrared sensors, but there are ''plenty of possibilities'' in this regard. See below.

!! Programming
With the two Sharp infrared sensors, I've written a short program that uses two of the touch sensors to activate a main loop function that performs simple object avoidance: if the left sensor detects something the robot backs up and turns turns right; if the right sensor detects something it backs up and turns left; and if both sensors detect something it just backs up further and turns randomly.
