Hello rbot993 thanks for a quick response. This kit is a plexi topper add on to the famous (and common) tamiya tank tracks kit. I will grab the tutorial videos and make a list of ez robot products in the video. First to interface the gearbox motors w ezb you need a H Bridge. The l298n Hbridge supports 2.5 amps current draw which is plenty for your Brutus base.

Ez board

Sonar ping sensor

L298n 2.5 amp H Bridge motor controller

Standard servo for radar movement


( if you want video navigation , spy capabilities or color and facial tracking you need ez cam as well)

If you get the ez cam and a second servo you can have color / motion tracking

Just a fun inspirational video of omnibot driving around looking at things and seeing his reactions. Entertainment if nothing else:)
