Hi,
I'd like to build an autonomous rover navigating on rough terrain in order to carry a camera for doing videos.
Could you please give me some feedback on the following components list?
Thank you for your time
Rob
Chassis: 1/8th Scale 2.4Ghz Exceed RC M

I am currently trying to work out a reliable 4 wheel rover to make or buy for a project I am working on. The rover will need to be reasonably big, enough to carry all necessary parts, around a 200 gram payload, and run for 12-20 min all autono
