This Robot is based on home-made Aluminium chassis. The size is 40cm x 30cm x 4cm.
This Robot has the following:
| Seq | Item | QTY | Price |
| 1 | 75:1 Metal Gearmotor 25Dx54L mm HP with 48 CPR Encoder | 2 | $37.00 |
| 2 | Pololu Wheel 90x10mm Pair - Yellow | 2 | $10.00 |
| 3 | Pololu Universal Aluminum Mounting Hub for 6mm Shaft Pair, 4-40 Holes | 1 | $8.00 |
| 4 | IR Sharp sensors | 2 | $16.00 |
| 5 | 9 Degrees of Freedom - Sensor Stick | 1 | $90.00 |
| 6 | APC220 Radio Communication Module | 1 | $54.00 |
| 7 | Arduino Mega2560 | 1 | $56.00 |
| 8 | Arduino Mega Sensor Shield | 1 | $13.00 |

ok I uploaded more pictures.
ok I uploaded more pictures. I hope to be more clear.
actually the total price till this point is around 400$. However, more sensors will be added in the next step to enable SLAM Algorithm to work properly.( for example Microsoft Kinect which is around 100$).

Wow, looks like a big
Wow, looks like a big driving cutter board ;-) Anyway, what do you want to achieve? 700 US$ for that what you showed off here? what a price...maybe you put a zero (null or 0) to much on it?
Please more pictures and more info about the progress/building.
