One of the things that I am doing that I'm not sure others are is; once i am satisfactorily done with the creation I'm going to seal him up. I am going to use the power switch that came in the original design for the RAD and use it to power on and off the ezb so I don't have to open it every time i want to turn it on.
I was having trouble with the treading and how i was going to mount the servo's for correct torque and speed. But i think i finally have that figured out.
Let me know what you think, feed back and suggestions are always welcome.

Ezang's My Tracking Bot For You To View
My bot will find you, you cant hide anywhere, lol
@kkeast I wish I would have done a h-bridge for the tracks, instead i am just using modified servos that are running direct to the tracks. As far as the head, i had a weird idea. Since hot glue wasn't strong enough to hold the head on, tape would be worse... OH WAIT the servo's come with screws to hold them in place!!! I attached two screws and mounted the servo to it. ( i will reinforce with hot glue)
For the ping sensor, I would like to hide it under the tray to be as inconspicuios as possible. I will probably mount it on a small servo and use it in radar mode. maaaaybe even cutting a small rectangle directly under the tray (mine has a RAD sticker the exact size/location i want to cut) and put it so the sensor is actually inside and not showing as much.
I don't think I am going to paint mine but i do think I want to add a "B" somehow. I was going to call it RAD 2.0 then i found out there is such a thing.
@Jamer Person,
Most people do not know that there are several types of hot glue. The one that holds the least is the clear type. They also make the sort of Cream colored ones. Those are the ones that hold forever. I haven't purchased any of the cream colored ones lately. I don't know where to look for them, but I know that they really hold good.
I would like to see more pictures of your robot. Is it a B9 head that you have on it? It looks cool.
Oh, you can also reinforce the hot melt glue with Silicone caulking for bathtub. This comes in white or clear. It is the same strength for both colors. It has to dry over night.
Hope this helped.
