Check out RWI, Inc. who make a 12 inch synchro-drive base.  The base
can carry 20 kilograms payload at 1.5 to 2 meters per second and has
omnidirectional steering control.  An optional card cage is available
that can contain single height VME or a G64/96 bus backplane.  The
card cage has panels around it that are suitable for mounting sensors
such as sonars, IRs, and cameras.

To find out more contact:

	Grinnell More
	RWI, Inc.
	P.O. Box 270
	Dublin, NH 03444
	(603) 563-8871

Other bases are made by TRC (differentially steered) and Denning
(synchrodrive and larger).  I don't have numbers or addresses handy.

Disclaimer: I have an on-going professional relationship with RWI.
