What has take me the longest to learn was how to turn the 6wd thumper chassis. Finally got it work in arc's not sharp turns on carpet when indoors using PWM sliders one full and the other 50% to 30% for turns. Also this works outdoors to go in circles of various sizes.
Now working on writing scripts for wii controller to do movement. Also have camera working with GB too.

Screen shot of ARC controls that are used in robot project.Nice clean design
Did you use a dc motor or continuos rotation servos for the weeks and where did you get the setup For example the aluminum in between the wheels did you buy it or make it
The 6WD Thumper Chassis (sold by EZ-Robot) comes with 6 motors.

This was a test run. Hit one bush and ran into a hill.
I got to learn how fast this goes on different parts of the yard and street.
