Here is the rover we built. Once the snow clears, I'd like to add some more pictures of it outside, but this is better than nothing for now.

Love to see it - Scout looks really good, especially with the solid plated body, fun stickers, and pan-tilt mast!
Curious if you're planning on sharing the setup for the remote operation and for the pan-tilt hat, I'm sure others would be very interested in that.
In terms of cellular, there's RPi hats that take a sim card and allow you to avoid needing a classic wifi usb dongle. I've got one of them and they work quite nicely.

Going with the RPi hat might be the way to go. I was afraid a hat might block access to my camera interfaces on the RPi?

I'd be happy to share more about the remote operation, where is the best place to do that? Do you think just add more info about it in Examples section I just made or share on Slack?

You don't actually have to mount the hat on top of the pi. We have the 40 pin breakout for this reason.

Up to you! I'd suggest storing your code on Github if you don't do that already, and then you can add a link to it in the examples section. Unfortunately Slack removes messages after 90 days so it has to be treated as a temporary discussion place.
