Hello,
Thanks for the great comments!

@PicNick
I’m not very good at coming up with names so I thought:
I use “Windt Systems” in my programs
The Catweasel is a tracked vehicle for traveling (or roaming) rough terrains
So I just put them together: Windt Systems Terrain Roamer v 1.3.

@Tobimc
This was all done by hand.
A lot of measuring, checking, measuring…… and then sawing and drilling.
A friend at work did the 45° on the tower.

@Manf
I have always liked vehicles with chains and when I came across the Catweasel I thought “This is the vehicle I want to use!”.
In the future I want to do an outside version with independent suspension on all 8 wheels (this will also create more ground clearance and a more stable platform).

Thanks for your suggestions, I am certainly going to try placing the motor lower!
I’m using a SRF08 with the gain register set so that I get a narrower beam, but because the SRF08 is so high and the beam is narrow, objects close to the ground and close to the robot are missed.

Answers in German are okay, I may not be able to understand everything but I have found a translation website.

The MD22 is a 50V 5A H-Bridge Motor Driver for 2 motors with I2C, servo and analog interface.
Have a look at http://www.robot-electronics.co.uk/s...ollers2008.htm
