you are right, all valid points...speed and maneuverability both important...still i think less demanding than a combat bot but you're right....

Just aim the gun sideways, rather than ahead. This limits you in that you have to circle the court in a direction that points the gun outward, but it's simple. And you can fire on the move.

You might want to get a large heavy duty electric riding toy like some below and modify it to be your moble remote controlled platform. Probably much cheaper, quicker, and less trouble than building one from scratch.

I think we figured it out...got some more money, so we can spend some cash on some nice motors... This is what we are thinking....

Changing to 10" pneumatic flatproof tires in the back, and a 10" heavy duty swivel caster wheel in the front...

Going with the same motor controller, pretty sure it will be adequet to power the motors, do you think they will fry it? Thanks for your input, check out the video of it shooting...

I would start with a new or used old-people scooter and add servos to control the throttle and steering controls.

This should save you hundreds of hours of work and you will have something that has a charging system built into it and it can handle

200 lB of weight.
