That's a wicked platform. are the tracks driven by servos?

Hmm. I think Box Bot may get an upgrade this weekend. I like the idea of treads, particularly on a little bot ehere the wheeld have trouble on carpet.

Tracks are always cool, and these are pretty cheap as a set.

I've already changed the claw. I'm not using those aluminum brackets I made. I went to 3 small gear ssalvaged from the toys gearbox.I want to cram 2 small servos between the claws to keep it short. Once I get that done the rest if the arm should go right together.:) J.W.

your custom claw is impressive!

The drive servos are the ones that come with the EZ-B kit. The claw and arm servos Are those small 9g ones from Hobby King:) JW

Thanks DJ It's just made from left overs from the backhoe and some cheap servos I already had from my RC Crashplanes ! :)
