here is a quick video of it just driving forward. The cheap chinese knock off Ethernet shield I bought malfunctioned and went babbling idiot mode, so I cant do teli-op until a new one arrives.
Please please please put some breakers on this thing. From what I can see you have two bus bars mounted on a 2x4. Screams fire to me.

It'll take the self resetting FRC fuses, if you don't have those handy, buy some fuses - they won't reset but it'll at least cut current should something happen. http://www.amazon.com/Cal-Hawk-120-F...N0F30C9C5X 9B


Please spend the $30, just the peace of mind is worth it...


Sorry to be a wet blanket on this, it looks like a good project but I'd really like to not hear when it catches fire.
