"@Thomas,
I see no level shifting on the DOUT of the Adafruit adapter, http://www.ladyada.net/images/xbee/xbee11sch.png which is Bill's concern. I did not check the Parallax one."

"I made an Autonomous Ground Vehicle with an Arduino. Much like the ardupilot setup, i could easily do it with an ardupilot if I had one. http://diydrones.com/photo/my-agv?xg_source=activity"
My ESC on the AGV says do not use a battery above 3500mah (something like that maybe a bit greater. I peeled the sticker off already) with it. (there was a little sticker under the battery that said this, i took it off a while ago). Well this…
"wow old thread popping up again :)"
"I did this with a EM406 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tci2MOLHdL8, i still use the same GPS for my new off road UGV."
"Why 8 blog posts to show modifications?"
Yup, it now has 2 platforms instead of that plastic truck shell.Here is a picture to remind you what it looked likeHere are some photos of the building of the dual platform. Its made from lexan, each platform measuring 12"x5.5". Holes were drilled…
"First the un-boxing and now this. Your killing us Chris! Upcoming months will be interesting. Very nice!"
"I think you are going to get a lot of worse things happening with it than what the video shows."
"I think we are taking a RC helicopter toy too seriously (yeah i know its a quadrotor but your normal shopper will think its a helicopter). Does anyone actually consider this as much more? its not a UAV, its not autonomous. Its made of cheap foam and…"
"No i think those are perfect videos because this is probably going to be bought for kids. I mean in the end it is a toy and with fake missiles and ways to battle in 2 player mode, this product is for kids like a little RC helicopter a parent would…"
"Could people use quail eggs?"
"Personally i have seen my thoughts change over time. When i was a newbie to micro-controllers, i was fine and happy to pay for a $30 this or $20 that. But now as i start to have my boards made in china for cheap i realize how much i could save doing…"
"I never was able to burn the bootloader on a atmega using the Arduino IDE. So i used AVR studio and found the bootloader hex file in the arduino folder and uploaded that and it worked fine on a atmega. You have to set the fuses yourself using AVR…"
"@Gary, I think we will get more ground vehicles with time but its not fun only having Sparkfun's competition at which most of us cant make."
