I need a small tracked or wheeled vehicle, sturdy enough to pull a paint sprayer and hose 40 feet to the end of an HVAC duct and then back out as I’m spraying paint. Can be wired or wireless. Don’t need any other controls other than left/right. Is there anything available for under 300 bucks? I don’t even know what terms to search for.

Hi @hodgesmyers and welcome to our forum.
This sounds like and interesting idea to use the help of a robot.
Here are the two categories from RobotShop that I recommend that you should have a look (and I’ve organized the price in the descending order):
Tracked Robots: https://www.robotshop.com/collections/tracked-development-platforms?sort=price-descending
4 & 6 Wheeled Robots: https://www.robotshop.com/collections/4-wheeled-development-platforms?page=3&sort=price-descending
If you ask me, it is hard to find a good quality robot with everything included (chassis, electronics, controller, battery etc.) under 300$.
Here are two recommendations from me for a tracked and wheeled robot:
Note that battery and charger are not included with these two products and these have to be bought separately, but everything else is there (chassis, electronics, controller).
Feel free to ask anything else.
Great. Thank you so much for the information. Any ideas as to any modular solution that could rotate a shaft like this? A high-pressure paint sprayer would have to go through it.

It seems like a custom made solution (this rotating shaft etc.). I am not sure who could make this.
But these robots on the video look similar to the Inspector bots that we have: Inspectorbots - RobotShop
