I am looking for a mobile platform to attach the handyboard.  I was hoping
to find a tracked vehicle (such as an R/C model tank) where each track is
independently powered with a motor.  This would allow steering to be done
without a servo and the tracks would allow movement in an outdoor
environment.  Does anyone know where I can find such a vehicle??

I saw a CAT D-9 at Toys R Us for about $30 last weekend.  The CAT D-9
is a bulldozer.  It is wire controlled with independant track drive.
Not sure if it'll work outdoors tho.
