UPDATED:This is an All terrain Robot I made for the ROBOWARS @ IIT India.
Came out to be a Winner! so I thought of posting it here.
Locomotion:
Its powered by 4x 200rpm DC geared motors- 18Nm cm Torque 12v
Custom Made Tracked Wheel Chain System.
Speed controller is a Custom Made MOSFET based with Optocouplers.
Battery:
Uses 12v 5Ah VRLA Battery from my Motorcycle HONDA CBF125.
Added a Tiny Precision Voltmeter on top of it to monitor Voltage Continously.
RC Controller:
Controller is a PS2 Dualshock wired Controller which is interfaced with an Atmega 328p Microcontroller and attached to an nRF24lo1+PA+LNA module.
All fitted inside a Playstation 2 Multitap Adaptor Box - I call it the Black Box.
it is powered by Samsung Li-ion cell 2600mah.
Both wired and Wireless Analog Controllers can be attached to the Black Box.

Lifter:
Also there is a Lifter attached to its front powered by 2 DC Geared motors 10Kgcm torque

It is controlled using PS2 controllers L1/R1 and L2/R2 buttons.
Its supported on 2 Aluminium Rods.
And it goes all the Way up 90 degrees.
Let there be Lights!!
Ahh the Lights! yes, it has Front headlights (that can also be switched wirelessly :-)
The Back:
I'll be updating rest of details soon and will also be uploading a video in a few days.
