I can't fit all the shit on the current car right now...
We should use dedicated battery packs for the controller/sensors and the motor itse.f

how much power are we talking about here? 2 sets of 6 voltage?

Motor supply can be anywhere from 5 - ~9 volts. If we're running at higher voltages, we have to really make sure our PWM duty cycle isn't too high at all times to avoid burning the motor.
The uController and sensors etc, we'll probably need again, around 6-9 volts.
Well, I guess we can still share the same battery pack and use the existing batteries in the car we have now, but I think it's best that we buy 2 sets of rechargable batteries so we have spares at all times for testing.
In terms of extra circuitry that need to be mounted onto the car, we'll have to go over it tomorrow.
