Hello all,

What is the max. voltage I can run through the handyboard.  I have a 12v
dry cell battery that I would like to use.  If I can use a 12v battery, can
I change the transformer to the handyboard charging/serial unit?

Also, I am looking for a chassis to build my robot on.  Right now I am
using the  ARBE-ONE, but it is too small and it does not do the best job
when on carpet, grass, etc.  Can anyone recommend a nice chassis, pref.
with tank-like treds.

Thanks for everyones time,
Mike

(...) 12v is fine. you could up go to 18v or so w/o problems. you might not even need to change the adapter. if the yellow charge LEDs light, then the batt is charging ok. it will be slower than the original pack but maybe that is not a problem for (...)
