I would suggest wheelchair motors.
Check my blog http://erobots.blogspot.com/ (http://erobots.blogspot.com/) for what I wrote about using wheelchair motors. It should explain everything for you.

Are you planning to put a cheap laptop on it so you can control it over the internet? Or adding a laptop to it to make it autonomous one day?

I would suggest to first make it RC, then autonomous.


Make a RC system with relays connected to wheelchair motors....

if you do make it autonomous, make sure that you keep an external cutoff switch...
