    Parts are starting to come in to its time to start posting.

    hardware:
    - 3x 12V 23A dc worm gear motors
    - 1x HP 750W server PSU
    - arduino Uno (duinotech)
    - soon to come 3x single channel VNH2SP30 motor drivers

    If anyone thinks its worth spending $150 AUD to get 3 more motors ($50 each) for future upgrades please let me know. I probably wont find them again at this price but I don't want to just buy them for the sake of it.

    Good Start. Please do tell us where you got them for that price as I am sure others would be interested if they are still available.
