Check out Toys R Us. There is a really neat series of construction
vehicle toys (a bulldozer, frontendloader, dump truck, etc...) which
could be used. If you wanted a tracked vehicle, check out the
Bulldozer. I've got two of these for the Robotics lab right now. The
motors are geared down quite a bit and they give the vehicle quite a bit
of strength. With a fresh set of batteries, I can push chairs around the
lab with the silly thing. I'm at work right now so I can't get you the
toy name and company, but I'll send that up the pipe this weekend when
I'm in the lab.
