After printing the original Makerbot Botmobile and having trouble finding the right motor, gear and battery combo I decided to redesign the drive train and some other components in order to make it easier for everyone to get a functional Botmobile up and running.

Full credit for the original design goes to the guys from Makerbot
Changes & Upgrades for the 2013 Version:
Drivetrain re-designed for the use with standard, of the shelf 280 brush as well as brushless motors
Drive gears modified to be fully printable and support the stronger motors
Body changed to accommodate 2S LiPo Packs
Additional mounting points added to the body to make the chassis more rigid and prevent the 2 body parts and the interior from separating
Steering updated to allow for better control and tighter turns
Receiver slot enlarged and additional RX brackets provided to allow installation of a larger variety of receivers.

Updated assembly manual with full parts and source list
All parts are tested and print fine on a Replicator 2X (ABS) using Makerware.
