Camera: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=225387&CatId=5203

Kin Chin brought this to my attention:
Will the tank motors even require a PWM? If they respond to an on/off signal, then no. If we just have buttons on the site, like forward, back, etc. then a PWM wouldnt even be used.
