I know M.Krass and others worry about building a Truck that will make the trip, and it probably looks like I down play this part of
the project.
This is not true, I just worry less about this part because of all the real world experience in this part of the country,

Off roading is a Day-in Day-out pastime around here.

Plenty of experience to tap, from week-enders to Pros.

Getting Pictures of the last 2 projects is turning out to be harder then I thought,
Their too busy PLAYING! I'll keep working on it.
I will get some pictures of some test areas posted.

No matter how good a truck you build if you hit a rock at 30MPH
you will flatten a tire or Tear the A frame out!

Thats why I emphasize sensors & navigation

Thats also why I think we will end up building TWO Trucks
THE Test Truck is going to be HAMMERED and TRASHED!
just to get the programing thru the learning curve,

Oh, BY the way, do we really need a 4WD for a test platform?
Could we start with a 2WD?........AS a TEST PLATFORM

Work out Navagation.& Sensor Problems (use dirt roads, run a set course,
return to start?) that sort of thing?

If so.....I have 2 beater Datsun P.U. that we could use.....
