Something I started back in my city days. Dug this out of my collapsed junk shack and put a little work on the rear steering system. This large robot will autonomously patrol our farm and chase away deer and bears. I will be using a combination of GPS and machine vision, which is much easier these days thanks to advances in deep learning and embedded computing.
Other features onboard will be...
All three wheels steer so the bot will have an amazingly small turning circle. Front wheel drive.
The frame tubing is 5/8 wall 2x4 inch rectangular tube.
I intend to have a lot of fun with the body, maybe doing fiberglass work again.
Here is the "master plan", pretty much all I have for this entire build...
