to mark as completed Phidgets Tracked Bot - [pTank]
This is my tracked bot combine Lynxmotion track system with Phidgets SBC.
I like phidgets because it supports multi language and I finally familier with one of them - ActionScript3!!
However it needs to have a server setup to communicate inbetween your PC and Phidgets.
This project allow me to control device over the internet.
I have put SBC and servo controller in this control unit and have battery and motor controller in the body below.
I use RJ45 cable to connect tower and main body. Maybe its not a proper way but still wanna give it a try.
Tower and body can be easily seprate for maintainance.
Connect them with RJ45 network cable.
This is how it looks like now.
With the laser on...

The size of the tank...
This photo was taken before I put the real laser pointer back, and this is how it looks from tank itself on the internet. Excuse me for funny wallpaper in screen.
There are couple sensers and device here...
I am still new in LMR. Let me know if I should post anything else.
Detect unusual event and notify the operater to remote this tank to scout the surrounding via internet.
