I was wondering about this one myself while building it the night before.
My issue is how to motorize the wheels without making it look stupid, ie having
giant motor pods on the ends of the "suspension". You can't do it with
micromotors (not enough torque) and gearmotors would look stupid. If there
isn't a lot of force back, maybe flaxles into the body?
Steering is not hard, it's all into one point of control for you already.
DaveK? Didn't you buy one just to roboticize it?!
Calum
PS-this model is more and more in my mind a disappointment.
