Well, I went with separate h-bridge to maintain PWM and it turns out that even though the motors are geared down, they still don't have enough torque to haul around all the batteries.

Hey why use the palm pilot? You could use the color gameboy :) I mean it has a IR port on the top. The only problem is the fact that it uses cartridges :( If anyone can make a cartridge, then there is (or at least used to be) a section on (...) (26 years ago, 20-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

It looks like they have changed the boards fairly significantly. Many parts substitutions -- notable the capacitor farm looks like it has been replaced by a battery backup capacitor. The overall parts count seems to be reduced in more places than (...) (26 years ago, 20-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)
