(...) Now, what would be interesting is if you could sacrifice 1 motor output to power a mini radio-transmitter. Am I right in thinking that this could be quite small - ie a 2x2 brick encasing the crystal? How does the radio control car work anyway (...) (25 years ago, 21-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics)

I'm assuming that the R/C transmitter is modulating two channels on either 27Mhz or 49Mhz...it is probably a non-digital-proportional servo system, so it is forward or reverse on channel A and left or right on channel B to the servo units. I don't (...) (25 years ago, 21-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Each time I see the R/C car (most recently on clearance at Target) I get excited, expecting it to be a simple trasmitter plus an RCX-sized box with two motor outputs that is then built into a model. This would be a great set, and would make it (...) (25 years ago, 21-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Yeah, that's why it is kinda useless unless you could control it fully with one RCX output.. at which point the additional studs start having uses! Richard (25 years ago, 21-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics)
