This is sort of a survailence tank i've been building the past couple of days. At its heart is of cours the EZ-B connected wirelessly via an xbee xsc 900 which gives awsome range even through several walls. The Android phone is for video which is running a IP Camera app to stream High Quality video back to my computer over wifi.
Other parts include:
Vex tank treads (modified)
Servo city servo Block's
Robo Claw regenerative 2X5a dual motor controller
cheap brushed esc to act as a dimmer for the headlights
two turnigy 5000mah packs in series to power everythinrg

I ordered my EZ-B Kit and the Xbee XSC 900 with the boards you suggested. Can't wait till it gets here! Thanks for your help. I may have more questions when I start hooking everything up, if that's ok.
sure no problem
regarding the xbee explorer regulated....
what did you mean by ------in order to use this with the XSC 900 you need to jump this diod
i am reall interested in buying these parts but not sure what "jump the diod " means....
sorry, im a noob
you need to solder a piece of wire on the two terminals of the hilighted diode to bypass it. ill try to post some pics soon
if you want i can put together a kit with all the necessary parts ready to use with the EZ-B just plug n play. I could put it on amazon or Ebay. let me know if this would interest you.
