Ok tiny update after the rear tires had all night to cure , they look pretty good. Not as good as a spray application, but good enough. Once there is wear they will blend right in. I did several thick coats with a toothbrush. Pictures later when they are assembled.

Hey very cool Bot,following your progress! I did something similar but less tech than yours just using the modified rad Robot last summer. The main problem I had outside at night was the un- even terrain ,if the bot saw tall grass or was going down hill the Ultrasonic sensors would think it was looking at a wall,back up and turn instead of going straight ahead,so the sensors need to actually be mounted much higher up out doors but indoors it had no problems on even surfaces. ;)

@ roborad , yeah uneven terrain will be a challenge , I think it has enough ground clearance, power and grip to move freely though. Thanks!
