    Fast Traxx Beta

    Add a Tyco Fast Traxx, WRT54G router, tons of batteries, web camera, gps head, and user control via a laptop. What do you have? A wicked homemade wireless tank-like rover!

    While it may not look like the mid 90’s commercial boasting the original Fast Traxx, it has taken on a whole new dimension of geek-like excitement Übermodder has to offer, (batteries sold separately).

    I have to give credit where it’s due, if it wasn’t for JBProjects this rover system would be a lot harder to implement. I will be using some their code and hardware to jump start our rover in the beta stages, then later revisions of the project will upgrade with our own code and programming structure. I might go as far as minor autonomy to help the rover navigate in tough situations, stay tuned…
