If you're looking for a base for your next robot, look no further than the Rover 5. This 4 motor monstrosity takes any terrain by storm.... just don't take it out in a storm... please!
DESCRIPTION
The Rover 5 uses 4 independent motors, each with an optical quadrature encoder and gearbox. The entire gearbox assembly can be rotated at 5 degree increments for different clearance configurations. You can even replace the tank treads with traditional wheels.

- Thick rubber tank treads
- 6 x 'AA' battery holder (total of 7.2V for rechargeables & 9V for Alkaline)
