EV3 Tank Platform

[msx80]

Hi, i've been working on this platform for a while, now it's basically ready. It's a tank with 6 indepentent suspension (3 per side), remotely controllable with quite a powerful climb :) It has space to put something else on it such as a weapon or a crane or such. Here's some pictures (sorry for the blurrines):

 

 

 

The shell without threads and EV3:

 

 

I've also attached a webcam to it, i was able to stream a 160x120 live video and drive it around the garden remotely, pretty awesome if a bit blurry :P Unfortunately i had to use an USB hub which have a huge plug, i had to put the EV3 brick vertically or it wouln't fit. At least there's just the right space to put the hub :)

 

 

Here's some render too:

Nice! I do love a good bit of EV3. Is it possible to make a shot video showing its capabilities - it would be interesting to see how the servo motors cope of road. After all, they do have a really high torque rating. Also, how far is the range of the live stream camera?
