if you had a spare channel you could have a transistor switch a relay that would switch whether the uc or receiver is controlling the servos?

Relay is kind of brute forcing it... might be better to have the UC constantly polling the receiver data, and if the receiver says "go autonomous" then the UC will ignore the data until a "go RC" message is received.

UC means microcontroller.

And looking at you start-post it looks like you have little or no experience in the field of robotics, so I'd suggest you start with the 50 dollar robot and then move on from there.
