For the beginners out there, here is a tutorial on how to make a simple remote control robot:

(and for the clever people, you'll notice its the exact same chassis as from my $50 Robot, using the older wheels I made for my ERP)

it's pretty because it has lights ;D

Very nice and easy to understand. :) Now if only this video existed when I was learning to fly RC planes (it showed the basics of remotes and receivers in 8 minutes for what took me a month's worth of flying to learn).
Although, I always thought of robots as completely (or partly) autonomous systems. The "robot" in the video seemed more like a RC car than a robot to me. Of course, it is a simple, first-time project for beginners: if/when they expand it and make it do more complex things, it could be considered more "robotic".

sweet tutorial, thanx a lot.

this video was great and got me interested in breaking out some of my old RC cars and taking them apart =P though i did have a question after watching it what about using DC motors instead of servos but it was already answered http://www.societyofrobots.com/robotforum/index.php?topic=5627.0 (http://www.societyofrobots.com/robotforum/index.php?topic=5627.0)

I have several airplane radios/receivers that use the 72Mhz band. Since all my robics are ground based, I really should be using a 75MHz band. Does anyone know if I can just swap the crystals out for ones in the 75 range, or are there other electronics in the radios that make them specific to a given range?

what do the switchs at the top of the contoller do ???
-
TyLEr71, it depends entirely on the remote. Just look up the manual for the remote you want to use, and it'll explain it all.

??? have 1 problem i only have a normal crappy remote control for example on the left side just a stick that goes left and right and on the roght 1 that goes up and down nothing else what should i do then? ???

What kind of question is that? you don't even say what you want to make... ;)

what type of reciver ? ???im try to make security robot you see and i need about 10 servo connections can someone help me decide?im only twelve but very intelligent in technalongy but not so good at spelling.im on a 100 to 250 dollar budget. HELP PLEASE

I'm 12 too!!! LOL I thought I was the only one here!!!

Darn I started at 15 and hit 18 to only say I can program very good in Basic.....
And I'm only trying to master the very details of differential drive!!! :P :P :P

There aren't any with 10 connections that I know of for sale. You'd be hard pressed to find more than 7.
You'd have to use a PC and UART/bluetooth to wirelessly send commands to a microcontroller.

thanks for posting this admin it has helped me understand r/c transmitters and recievers so much more, i used to think they were way more complicated than this! :D

this helped me ALOT
