My six wheel rover is home-made. I used six geared 12vdc motors from Lynxmotion and a Hammond aluminum box as a chassis. I have a Dimension Engineering Sabetooth 25amp/side motor controller taking R/C input from a Spektrum receiver. The…"

headinthetrees replied to headinthetrees's discussion Rover Project Build Thread"ya I may do PoE on some of the outermost spurs, but in general whenever I bury conduit I like to at least put power, water, data and usually a spare.

Niall Dempsey replied to headinthetrees's discussion Rover Project Build Thread"Thanks for reply. Do the routers and stations need their own power supplies?

headinthetrees replied to headinthetrees's discussion Rover Project Build Thread"Cool man, your projects sound interesting. Thank you for your reply.
