That's a pretty cool base, but the price tag is high. That's not to say it isn't worth it, you're right it is an ultimate robot base:)

recaro seat on a wheelchair seem like that is my perfect wheelchair. I will live the way it is, had a few sensor, EZ-B board, have it drive me around autonomously. Oh wait I can't afford it, ooooppppps.

STILL looking at buying a wheelchair and add the tank tracks,but then its not really a robot with arms and a head

I WOULD BUY THE TRACKS ,then make my own base from aluminum and if i want too add arms or claws to it to make it like a tracked rover i saw at a science museum a few months ago ,it was a moon rover design using tracks

SMALL edit IF you look at my vex tracks for my omnibot project it gives you a idea only smaller

my omnibot 2000 project

And i have another VEX chassis and tracks to make a rover project fairly soon

Open your mind. Robot noun A machine capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically.

It doesn't need arms and a head, it doesn't need legs, it doesn't need to move around. This brings me back to saying that a washing machine, clothes dryer, toaster etc. can be loosely classed as a robot.
