So selling the Motion Tablet and shall I buy a Nokia N810 or N900 ?

Since you are so involved , do you , by any chance , know if the motor controller board in it and the motors are available as a .... spare part or so ? I can strip all the electronics and motors out of the Merlin like others did and fit to my custom built unit , but buying them as spare parts would be nicer . Here in Australia I could not find it.

the basic struture isn´t bad at all . . !
My setup will be different most likely with better quality motors.

In fact I thought about that first but didn´t know which drives and electronic to use and how to get them up and running with papywitard and TC-control. Unfortunately I have no skills in electronics and so I decided to use Merlin-Parts.
Maybe somebody can tell us which compatible drives and controllers to use and where to buy these components? I`m sure this would be helpful for other hobbyists.
