Go to Post Andy Baker is so awsome, that his presence alone at the competition caused the scoring system to crash....multiple times...at all 8 regionals. - Andy Grady [more]

That's why the Radio-controlled would be so awesome, is because I could walk behind it as I drove it, or sit in it. But that would take 7.2v batteries for the OI.
Too funny, that's what we've started with our Team as well after seeing Davis HS (1678) do that. The students want to do armchair races and such. We may use a mecanum setup as shown in the attached picture. We've had some students working on a basic mecanum platform for the past month. It runs off a VEX controller and some old 883's from year's past. They wanted to use our old pBasic controllers, but I pushed them to use the VEX and continue to develop programming skills in C. They also use a VEX RC unit to drive it.

Here's a video of it running..

Now to find a LazyBoy to stick on top of it!!
