This project has evolved some , the basic rundown is I'm modding two Omnibots , one a regular the other a larger 2000 model. I will have two ezb kits , rad base idea was thrown out because of so much noise but could go back on the table if the omnibot drivetrain is too weak to pull it.

STEVE AND JOSH on sabertooth or other h-bridge all have protection,but not the motor motors will still burn up,some have a connection to turn off the motor (brake) ,but sometimes the brake is use to stop the motor from a protection circuit that you add
HI Robotmaker.
Im with you now , i thought you ment the controler would burn up.
I kinda thought that the overload protection would work fast enough to save the motors under a stall condition.
oh well i guess i need some 24 volt current limiters .
Steve_C.
I will just add that feature later once I have this guy moving. It will be a few says before I get those parts.
i aways add protection,old says goes " better to be safe the sorry" on sensors i put resetable fuse called a PTC,i designed a sensor board and had a pcb made for it in in the yahoo club ,sold over 100 and counting

Ok I have current sensors coming for the motors just in case Jarvis gets stuck.on something. Also IR sensors with.better range.Also I have 10 sets of xt60 Turnigy connectors , which are rated at 60 continuous amps.
Ok I have been trimming the port for a better view. It needs to be able to scan left and right far enough to see 8 inches in front of each corner. I believe I will trim a bit in each direction.
IM disputing if I should cut the slot down another 1/4 inch so to can tilt.down.some and the ir range.finder.can still have a clear view.
