The purpose of the tank style rover is to provide a suitable base for a multitude of sensors that can be used for a variety of applications including reconnaissance, data mining, security, etc.

The project goal is to equip a rover type robot with sensor array hardware that will perform various data gathering functions. Examples of sensors include camera, sonar, temperature, humidity, positioning sensors, and possibly others. The main board of the rover will be constructed from Motorola and Xilinx processors. Possible additions to the project include wireless communications to a control platform, video processing, and real time analysis.
