This is the second iteration of the robot. The first design used two motors and an axel to swival the robot much as a tank. This proved to not be very effective in tall grass and caused the robot to stall.

This new version uses the nxtmmx motor multiplexor to add an additional two motors for power and also a center pivot for steering.

The GPS module is blue tooth.
