Thanks to all who have responded. I have heard quite a few new ideas which
intrigue me to say the least. I would also like to thank Lawrence for the
pictures of his vehicle. I will be giving them a closer look as time goes on.

I have decided this much since my last posting; It will be a military vehicle
with recon capabilities. That way I can use some other small robots that I
have created. I am considering adding a second function in addition to the
recon capabilities, but haven't made up my made what it is yet. I will give
everyones ideas some time to sink in during my commute home tonight.

Thanks a million,

Duane

OK, here's what I think is going to take place with my model. (all I have to do is start building now) I was playing with a recon idea, but decided to merge that with the story that Tobias had for a search vehicle. I also liked Tom's idea of a MASH (...) (27 years ago, 26-Oct-99, to lugnet.space)
