Those motors are incredible!

Those motors are incredible! This is the first time I’ve ever seen motors with UART input. They’re really expensive, but you’re saving at least $125 by not having to have a 2*(3*7.5A) motor controller. It’s also one less thing to break, and a LOT less wiring connections considering that it also returns your encoder values over that same serial connection.

I really like your design with the wheels around the motors too. Can’t wait to see this robot progress.

Wow. Great robot and thanks for all the detail. 

I love the wheels; they came out great. How are they performing for you?

Thanks

The wheels works good but if the rover is still for a long time (more than a hour) the rubber is fixed in that postition.
So it will take about a minute for the foam to press it out when i start to dive it…
