Hello all,
My colleague and I are building a rover with the A4WD chassis, wheels, and motors. We have designed the motor control board ourselves and are using a Rabbit RCM5600W with built-in Wi-Fi as the controller.
As we work through the build process we’re documenting everything on our technical blogs here:

The first blog entry for the Rover Project:

Feedback is always welcome,

We have been working on stationary and moving turns with the rover using various shades of PWM to affect the turns. We’re hitting some roadblocks but making steady progress.

I have added some new videos showing our testing.
We did get the moving turns working and now we are outfitting the rover with SONAR.
