·The reason I've been asking you guys questions on motor control is simply so I can mount my BOE BS2 on this chasis. What do I need to power these motors through the board? That motor controler, the HB-whatever, do I need like a motormind to go with it or somethin?

    Looks like the motor that goes with it is rated at 3.80A (at 7.2v locked shaft). Given those specs, looks like a job for the HB-25 (http://www.parallax.com/detail.asp?product_id=29144)

    Because it's track steering, and I need to control the left and right motors differntly, do I need two HB-25's. I've read up a little on it. So I just plug the 7.2v battery directly into the motor controler(s), right?

    Yes, each motor needs it's own HB-25.· It is "plug and play", but you will need to also connect your Stamp to the HB-25 and of course the motor to the HB-25.· YOu may (probably) want to daisy chain the HB-25's together.· All this is clearly covered·in the documentation (http://www.parallax.com/dl/docs/prod/motors/HB-25MotorController-V1.2.pdf), which I strongly suggest you read, before you purchase it.
