Me again! :innocent:

A question if I may.

Last week I rescued from the dumpster an electric wheel chair. Mostly functional, but its suffered some abuse. The layout is two drive wheels (a motor for each) and dual front and rear casters.
Is there any chance of creating a Godzilla Boe Bot with something like this? :nerd:

    Um... yeah!!! Any construction details?
    I can visualize the concept, but not sure of an interface between BOE kind of board and the joystick controlled circuits in the chair base.

    BTW... looks awesome!

    Hi Amanda'
    I like the expression : "Godzilla Boe Bot" !
    Look at this. It is not exactly a Boe Bot , it is a rover but it uses almost the same electronics as the Boe Bot uses.
    But If you are looking for somethig very special, a realy amazing robot is the: Parallax Hybrid Robot .

    Heh... I like Godzilla. My favorite movie monster! I have him on my desk and he likes to step on Hot Wheels cars. ;-)

    I dunno... the 'bot pulling the truck is kinda cool, but if I get stuck alongside the road I'd like something a little more substantial to come to my rescue! ;-)
