I have been busy with my thesis work and other stuff since my last post. There was disappointing discovery a few months ago. The chassis I built earlier couldn't take the weight of two servos, a wireless camera and 11 batteries. The tracks would keep slipping off while turning on carpets :| . Bummer! There went almost a month of searching, waiting for it to arrive and building it.
And so I decided to search for a prebuilt and tested chassis to jump into making things work as soon as possible. I found the RP5 chassis. Its sturdy, comes with 7.2V motors ( = less noise), battery holder and the coolest fact of all - this thing can carry more than its weight, turn on carpets and still keep its tracks on. Plus it comes with these neat accessories to build multiple levels. Here is a pic of it with my boards on.
