  • GOOD WORK SOLIDER, NOW STRAP SUM C4 ON THAT BABY N SEND IT TO IRAQ!!!

  • Wahts that rattling?

  • @aussieissues Its a robotic platform not a RC car. Those kids...

  • i hate your mom she looks nooby p.s gf.

  • wel; if its got a hydraulic pump you can add rams(cylinders) for arms and such.

  • WOOH YOU SEE THAT WHEELIE

  • Sounds like it had a lawn mower motor to power it. I like it but it needs more work.

  • i think its a good little bot

  • sounds like a lawn mower

  • I can do 14 MPH... It's from Parallax.

  • First that thing as slow as a Snail....Second that thing Barks As loud as it can...Wot a jerk!

  • that stupid Rc car the sound is bad is only 1 speed

  • it goes freaking slow

  • SURE!!! If you have $5000 then they will ship this robot to you (Free Shipping!) You will also have to know how to program a Parallax Propeller Microcontroller to even make it go!

  • why would anyone want this? Even if your a nerdy EE it would be more economical to buy a working R/c car take it all apart and mod it how you want it. Hydro gen propane add a couple of claws on top what ever! Some of those bots offered throught these companies are effin retarded costing!

  • plz send me a vid how to make this

  • Can you send me a vid of how to make this. please? or anyone that comments ^^^^ send me a vid of how to make one like this.

    THANKS ! =D :)

  • stick a m249 on it...

  • If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 MPH... you're going to see some serious shit.

  • Can u say muffler?

  • Alas, you should probably do a little research before posting and showing foolishness.

    The quad contains a parallax controller, GPS, Digital Compass, etc. It's fully autonomous-capable. They are amazing platforms for mapping and exploration in hazardous environments, such as in rescue and in mining.

    Please learn some critical reasoning skills before it's too late.

  • make it with a lawn mower and your all set then!!

  • cool :P

  • its noisy

  • plz give me my lawn mower's engine back. It's Sunday and I have to attend to my garden

  • so thats what is consuming the gasoline.

  • good choise of drivelines. hydrostatic systems are strong.

  • _Some_ of you people are idiots.

    Its damn fast for something that will be an autonomous robotics platform, anything faster would be dangerous.

    It has more carrying capacity than an RC truck, and it would not be a bad platform for military / scientific research.

    Also the hydraulic drive system makes for precise, predictable, continuous control and flatter torque curve (probably) - all very good for a mobile robotics.

    They should have showed it in the grass though.

  • Guys it's automated and programmable not RC that's why it goes slow.

  • Read the description of the video it is R/C at the moment.

  • yea, It is geared to go slow because if it went fast the sensors couldn't keep up and it would hit things once it did start being automated. I just meant it wasn't fair to judge it as an RC but your absoloutley right.

  • It goes slow because it is designed with a hydraulic drive train system. At a 3k price tag, I don't think it is going to be very popular and I'm a parallax supporter!! Its different in the robotics area but way too expensive, I could build something that does similar for much cheaper, ntm designed the way I want which would make it more worth while.

  • is it r/c?

  • Buy a FG or Baja 5B instead man!

  • But then you wouldn't get the hydraulic transmission! That's the whole point...they're amazing for low end torque, unlike normal transmission systems. Unfortunately, they get inefficient at higher and high speeds (read fluid viscous shear effects, mainly) and so you just design it so it just doesn't go that fast. My senior design is effectively a full-size car version of this.

  • it's not mad to go fast it's a robot.

  • put a chainsaw on that then it would be cool

  • No, a crappy weed wacker.

  • Led is right it sounds like a leaf blower

  • that is beyond awesome, it looks like something that should have been on battle bots,i love it and i give it a five

  • thats cool, but sounds like a leave blower lol
