i was talking about this in another thread. see URL="http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=71037&page=8"]http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=71037&page=8[/url] well my idea for this is to mod a off the shelf floor fan (something with a protective cage) to use the CIMs to power the fan blades and then use servo turned fins to "guide" your air flow for steering. Then for your wheels you would just stick them on casters.

then for the power situation but if using my past experience becuse last year we where using 4 CIMS to move a robot (120lbs) on wheels with high friction/wieght and a pnuematic system. this drained most of our battery last year. but if we where to use only the fan idea it would be 1-4 CIMs moving at most 5 pounds of fan blades (im being very heavy). Then with no other major draw of power the batterys most likely won't have a problem with this type of drive train.
