13 | construct the 2WD chassis and install the electronics. The folllowing versions of the 2WD Rover are currently available:</font></p> | ||
14 | <ul> | ||
15 | <li>2WDU: BotBoarduino microcontroller</li> | ||
16 | <li>2WD: SSC-32 or SSC-32U servo controller + Bluetooth<br> | ||

19 | <p><font face="Verdana" size="2"> To view larger images, right | ||
20 | click on the image and click "view image". Steps 1 through 13 are the | ||
21 | same for the BotBoarduino or the SSC-32 / 32U. Once you reach step 14, | ||
22 | please follow whichever applies to the robot you are making. Note that | ||
23 | we define the "front" of the robot as having the two driven wheels, and | ||
24 | the rear associated with the single tail wheel. However, you are free | ||
25 | to change this as you wish (it's mainly aesthetic), though note that | ||
26 | the sample code may have them reversed. </font></p> | ||
