Well,there's a small problem in using the TXT-1 as a robot. Good steering(zero turning radius) is possible using the "skid steer" or the "differential steer" method,which is unlike the TXT-1.This makes control a bit difficult when the robot is autonomous.

The TXT- 1 is capable of 4 wheel steering(4WS),but still has a turning radius.I've still to try it out.

Well,my 1/10 scale Tamiya TXT-1 monster truck just arrived.This will be my
basic platform.I will be loading a 1 GigHz Mini-ITX onto it.

Will be updated at Machinegrid.com

I puta writeup on how to solder an accelerometer, specifically the ADXL202E from Analog Devices.

Shifted to a new site.See all my projects here now

Machinegrid.com

The site now features Autonomous Robots,Tutorials,software and hardware projects,research robots,links,competitions,materials,Books.

Just updated my home page.
Contains my new set of robots links,materials etc. Contains a golf playing machine and a Cool Fire Fighting Machine,Pyro. Pyro won The IEEE-Issac competition. Check the site out to get a view of the pics.bye
