That's a definite possibility. However, I'm looking more for
something that has a tread-type drive system, though two independently
driven wheels is fine. That allows me to simplify steering the robot, so
that I can rotate it at a point. Current draw of the motors is also an
issue, as I'd like to stay somewhere around an amp per motor. Seems to me
that most R/C cars draw a few amps for their main drive motor...
Have you been able to actually get an RC-10 car working with the
handy board? How do you control it? A friend of mine was telling me that
it would be fun to drive around a robot at 20mph, but that the rear wheels
are driven by _incredibly_ high current motors.
