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

yes im using the 393 motor, and i did not buy the tank track upgrade kit because it didn't look like it was going to do what i wanted so i used strips of rubber and glued them to the standard tracks.
mine before i change to use it on my omnibot,i made a vex robotic tank and had it climb rocks,over logs and on flat surface so very good,those track upgrade made a very big improvement
Do you need to use a special software or change something in the ez-software to use the xbee?
