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

ill go with what you have sorry for the delays in replying
also would this work?
linky
those are really low power xbees, like 1mw , plus they have chip antennas which are not quite as good as wire antennas, and the 3v adapter board converts the 3v signal of the xbee to a 5v signal. this is bad because the EZ-B uses a 3v signal. bottom line no the radioshack kit won't work.
I think, this link is useful and with good price:

@imrisaac long time no talk....was wondering i f your offer still stand about the xbee kits....ive been looking at the prices and it looks for the parts you suggested the total would be around 90.00
do you think you can help me out with the set up?

Together is about 80 USD without shipping,
actually i fyou look up the link posted fo rthe xbee i think prices have droped the xbee 900 pro is like 42.00 i think the full set up should not be like 150
@imrisaac
can you confirm please?
there is an xbee pro 900 and an xbee pro 900 (xsc). I use the xbee pro xsc which are still $67 a piece. the xbee pro 900 (xsc) is slightly more powerful then the regular $42 xbee pro 900
