My RC Car Project - Suggestions are welcome


hello everyone,

   i explain project , feedback guys, in hope of helping me out figure out stuff i'm missing. hope post isn't long read i'm going give quick run down on started.

v1.
so started simple project basic 30$ rc car bought @ costco. stripped strapped arduino yun in adafruit motorshieldv2 control front , motors , webcam on top ing  moved servo connected motorshieldv2. controlled nexus 7 android tablet via wifi. proof of concept else. moved on v2 of idea.

v2.
ok here are, bought bigger platform work on, it's huge hummer once again stripped down. still using arduino yun, need control 1 motor rearwheels, 1 servo front direction, , 2 axis servo that's going have paint gun mounted on it. right have couple of questions build

  • i need know how can determine how torque need on servo able rotate , lift paintgun?
  • right use tablet control rc car , web cam , servos once i'll mount them... use tablet live feed webcam , connect bluetooth controller drive car , webcam 2 thumbsticks. suggestions?
  • is arduino yun best platform project or arduino more fitted?
  • i able drive truck when wifi limitation has been reached, gsm shield option , how can use gsm shield without lag?



i'm open kind of suggestions here since i'm still learning alot , i'm far being expert.

thank everyone.

on #2, looks good. however, on bluetooth make sure you'll need make sure use classic , not ble (bluetooth low energy). otherwise radio link might challenged on distance. on wifi, try stay on lower bands. 5ghz might give problems  when not in line-of-sight.

on #3, when using yun, might find more effective remove bridge software , write own. reminder, stock bridge software link between 2 processors. , linux side laden multiple layers, including http.

on #4, ignore now. time till issue months away. might have 4g module then.
