Here's a neat video showing how torquey the Quad Rover is:

It's got a two-stage hydraulic pump that runs at 1/3 rated pressure, for low stress. The robot uses a Propeller on a circuit board for logic control.

    Thanks Chip!

    Jeremie's truck (featured here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1Bjb257Umg)·makes another appearance too! I think it should become the Parallax mascot.
