Thanks for the quick reply. As stated I know almost nothing about Lego motors. I saw Buwizz as something with increased range and endurance (low priority in this MOC), additionally I didn't know that a non Mindstorms control app existed. I didn't want to go full Mindstorms and if Buwizz gave me most of the control (along with Brick Controller or whatever that app is) along with better battery life (and easily rechargeable) it had some appeal. But based on your responses what I want should be achievable with stock Lego items which is a nice bonus. I'll take any other questions over to an appropriate threat and I again I appreciate the response. Thanks so much!
(strange, I clicked to multi quote but for some reason I am not getting what I want, will reread instructions, it is likely user error ;) )
