As far as the tracks are concerned, what did you buy, and what did you have to fabricate?

I'd love to take that design and add some mower blades to it. Im sure cutting the grass with something like that would be MUCH more fun

hey, your link is screwed or something.
Just out of curiosity, where are the batteries located?

Snowbot · « **Reply #10 on:** June 19, 2010, 02:12:38 PM »

The batteries are located in the box on the robot,but I am working on getting them inside..

Hi I'm wondering how much you paid for the tracks? The cheapest I'm finding is $159 each online.

Snowbot · « **Reply #12 on:** June 29, 2010, 12:16:25 PM »

I think it was about 180

Jon · « **Reply #13 on:** July 01, 2010, 04:12:26 AM »

Was that for each or both?

WhomBom · « **Reply #14 on:** July 01, 2010, 03:05:37 PM »

nice work! it's a real scout, i love it

Snowbot · « **Reply #15 on:** July 02, 2010, 04:03:59 AM »

That is for each.

Jon · « **Reply #16 on:** July 02, 2010, 08:29:01 AM »

Awesome, so $159 each is a good deal. It's definately not a cheap way to go. But it seems the best option. Thanks for answering my questions. I'll keep an eye out for more vids. I absolutely love your bot. Agile little guy.
