I knew that, and thank you, but it's not what I'm asking for. I don't have an
RCX, nor would I want to use one for this. I need *radio* control, not remote
(infrared) control, and I don't want to involve a computer. I apologize that I
wasn't more specific in my original post.
LEGO already makes several RC cars, but at least from the ones I have seen, they
are not modular; the radio speaks directly to a chassis, and you basically can
just decorate that chassis. You can't intercept the received signals and use
them to control your own motors that do your own thing.
There must be someone here who would know how to receive a signal from a radio
controller and use it to control the voltage to a motor?
Thanks,
- Joe
