Here is the prototype of robot I am testing for warehouse distribution.

Nothing special at this time

Standard Thumper body ..usual EZ Robot parts.

I need to add lifting platform and naviagtion system.

I plan to implement with a current warehsouse system in use.

I will be using .net, probabaly vb.net.

Any ideas on a lifting platform woudl be appriciated.

I using this basically be a platform to work out the software.

Has anyone used Microsoft Robotics Stuio with EZ ?

Great idea. I've been considering something similar for years now but I just have not had the time to develop it. Keep me posted! ;)

OK.. probably not going to use Thumper as base unit. Not very manuverable.

For both simplicity and maneuverability you can use this style platform...

Personally I would have a caster in the front and the back though. Better handling and stability , just a little insurance for your robocarts payload.:)

I have seen this platform before. What is the name?
