Want to help me design a rugged robot? - Raspberry Pi Forums


greetings everyone!
have dedicated myself making outdoor surveillance robot.

goals:
-most importantly, has affordable (x < $300-ish). can't make can't afford.
-it must traverse environments such backyard , trails. handle few inches of water , soggy grass areas.
-can both radio controlled , autonomous. (where pi comes in)
-fpv.
-battery life

current plans: (http://i.imgur.com/gqq0fpu.jpg)
tank, because tanks stuck , speed isn't requirement. starting @ point of motion, wheels , treads. i'm thinking sprockets , (double/duplex) rolling chains. chain leave me outer chain can insert small bolts , nits traction. can view image above example gear sizes aren't correct. tread setup about $70 alone. i'm crafty, i'm going build scratch besides majority of electronics.

these parts should cover fpv of things:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-axis-pt-pan-t ... 5674778b71 (anyone know size servos item uses?)

can give me advise on type of motors , gearbox should use design? tips on sprockets size , ideal?

can assist me in figuring out means of control robot? not want use standard controller. instead, want hookup pi guts of 'transmitter.' transistors or have you, can develop remote functions , have capable of autonomous features in 1 package. or @ least plan. take i'l need receiver , transmitter that.

have questions days, i'll leave @ now.
time.

have built simple robot before?

may better start small , simple before spending fortune trying build might not have skills build.
