I wonder how hard it would be to hack up the Looj to give you separate control over each track to let you actually steer?

It had just what I was looking for - extremely low clearance, forward and reverse capability, and strenght. Seeming drawback would be no steering - however, that spinning attachment in front can be used to turn the robot when it's "free ranging" and not confined by a gutter(not very elegant, I know). I'd like to put a drill attachment on the front, though, and see if it will work like the Thunderbird's Mole or the underground digger mech from the Ultraman series! F-A-B!
