Thanks to the help of Todd Graham (thanks Todd), I've found a really cool, low cost, RC robot platform. It's the same platform used by USC's 1997 RoboCup entry, the Nikko Hercules!

Ja, I could not tell you for the life of me what 'type' f a HB it is, but I remember someone once telling me that you could just remove one of the pins from the driver chip instead.
