sounds like wood is proberly the best options, it will proberly be easyer for me to work with also.
im just going to wait untill i have the motors (xmas present), and then make some designs for the robot.

sorry for asking questions, but i cant figure out how i will connect the one battery i will have after conecting two together to 2 speed controllers?

split the negative from the battery 1 to each speedo and take 2 positives from the link 1 to each speedo ... job done also take another ngative from the battery to your power light and a positive from the link to the power light too .....
