Upgrades to the Mini-Z.
- Use 5 NiMH cells, instead of 4, to give 6 volts, instead of 4.8
- Add additional FETs to allow more power
- Add heat sinks to keep FETs cool.
- More powerful motor
- Add traction control.
- Sensors on each wheel to detect wheel spin and correct.
- Gyroscopic correction
- I have no idea what this is. There is a cool gyro component, ADXRS300, which is an angular rate gyroscope that should be pretty easy to interface to, to do stuff. It can measure 300°/s. I don't think that is fast enough to correct a spin.
