Re: my new project , a smart tank controlled by a computer

any motion planning implemented? how would it move to a specific place?

Good job. It seems very nice indeed.

ohh yeah , you reminded me :) the tank now has a sophisticated grid system for its movement , you can now draw a trajectory that the tank can follow , and soon we can just give the tank the final destination and it can go there .

new development ! , i spotted a big old retired bomb disposal robot at UNI ! that im planning to rewire to become an extended development of this project , waiting for approval to start the conversion . the robot entitled has a hydrolic arm as well . this is me inspecting the rover . more details as the conversion starts :)
this time i think i will go with Battikh's suggestion and use blutooth , with a blutooth enabled laptop inside the tank .

Just seeing these, nice work!!

A thought, regarding the last pic:
Since you're planning on putting a laptop in it, wouldn't it be easier to setup a wireless network instead of bluetooth? Or am I totally off??

its blutooth because im planning on controlling it with a mobile device . it can be accomplished with a wireless wifi network as well , a server client model or even adhoc . well we will see where the wind takes us regarding this project , but since its huge i guess there is room for a mobile controller and a client server system with a camera and the such .
