I don't know if this will work, but here is a youtube link. This was my first attempt at uploading a video there. The file was done on an Galaxy Tablet, at 122 MB, I figured DJ would prefer it not take up space on his server.
Dogbot has a bit of User operator error, but with a little more training It'll be run much soother. Next phase is to pickup a few more Servos to add a better head, and a left arm. At somepoint the wife (our resident knitter) will make a red sweater for the dog, so DogBot can track her. Given the reliablity issues involved with color tracking though, I'm leaning more toward RFID tracking.

Question Dave, is there a way to create a power switch on the tank motors so that you could isolate the rc and ezb. I was thinking if you could, then you could run the tank when you wanted to through the H-bridge from the ezb and command from your PC etc or flick a switch and drive the tanks as it was made from it's RC controller. What do you think ?
Hmmm, a relay might do it.
Looking good! Banned from the lounge :o) Made md chuckle.
Easy to do with 2 switches. Just flip the switches for RC and then back for EZ-B control. You need switches with 3 contacts. Relays would work, but they use power and a switch doesn't waste any power.

Switches it is - thanks
