OK, check out what I scored!
It's a RAD 1.0 robot toy. Someone gave this to me, new in box, never even used!
I'm excited to hack it like crazy and install the EZ-Robot hardware.

I'm thinking about arming it with a laser and letting it guard the house.
By the way , that base does very well with 12v to the motors. Waaay more torque which is great if you go outside. Brett ran his with like 17 pounds on it , 6v barely moves and couldn't turn on carpet but when he changed the battery to 12v all problems solved! =) yes you can use Dj l298n controller it's good for 2 -2.5 amp per channel
Careful with powerful lasers. If you blind someone you would haft to pay them for the rest of your life even if they had broken into your house. Plus you wouldn't want the robot to blind anyone in your family. The red laser pointers are safe for robots use and family fun. Aim and watch the pet chase the laser dot. Plus a robot with a laser looks cool.
If you will never use the RAD controller, you could sell it on ebay.
if you need higher torque i sell motors the fit inside the RAD TRACKS BASE check out the motors i sold to JOSH on his omnibot project he is using it on also his RAD 2.0 BASE
