I was messing around with some big drive motors meant for a robotic lawnmower, but came up with this instead....
1 x EZB4 1 x 2x5 Sabertooth motor controller 2 x Hitec HS-645 servos 4 x 16RPM seriously torquey gear motors 4 x 8" Lawnmower wheels 1 x 20 Watt solar panel and charger 1 x 7amp 12V SLA battery 2 x Vex 269 gear motors (for the panel retract mechanism)
Now I need to mount some sensors and an EZb Camera...
Still don't know what I want to do with it yet....

Here is the robot head video for 6/15/2021: hope you enjoy it. ---------- In this video I break down all the components...

Really cool project ! I wonder what you might have come up with if you were bored for a week or two. Impressive work for a long weekend !
I love it!

Solar powered cross-country competition robot ! Add shocks and spring suspension for a trip to the moon.
That's a real wicked build for only a weekend of time! The moving solar panel is probably the biggest surprise of the video. I wasn't expecting it.
Thanks guys.... I guess I felt more like an engineer than a programmer... Now I need to find a way to extend my wifi range....
I am sure I'll update with more doohickeys soon enough....
Cheers Richard
:D Like! Very cool Richard!
Nice work Richard, I live in a rural area and would use it for ouside patrol with a camera, maybe even night vision. It could chase rabbits away from the garden, cats away from the bird feeder, deer from the flowers, etc. I like the serious HD drive system. Do you have a link for the drive parts? Can,t wait to see what else you add to it!
What fun!
