SRV-4WD Motor Controller Test

Quick test on carpet with quick reversals of the prototype SRV-4WD motor controller using 4 x Eton PGM36 motors. Good response to direction changes and no noticeable H-bridge heat dissipation. A few disclaimers - (1) robot chassis is just a test frame - not an actual SRV1X chassis, (2) drift is due to weakness of one of the motors (bent axle), and this will be corrected when we use the encoders for closed loop control, and (3) video framing could be improved, but it is a challenge to hold a video camera and control a robot at the same time.

@turtleD90 I think i saw those motors with the gears on dealextreme, or at least some that are very similar.
