im building a custom robot. medium sized. im going to use large lithium ion batteries and 2 car-window motors. my question is, with the hb-25, can i control the left and right side independently or do i need 2 motor controllers?
another question, for the frame, should i use semi-thin square tubing? i dont have a welder, so what are my options for connecting the tubes together to make a simple box frame with motor mounts. for the extirior, im just going to rivet the shheet metal to the tubing. thanks for the help in advance.

    You need two controllers. The HB-25 will control one motor; the daisy-chain capability lets you put two controllers on one I/O pin.
