The wheel modules start to take shape. Stepper motors with gearboxes allow nice slow, controlled movement with the option to apply electric brakes to stabilise the machine when it is doing actual weeding / cultivating, otherwise it would move around slightly due to inertial forces acted by the cultivating equipment.
