yes, the 2.4ghz kit is the transmitter and reciver.

rc cars and toys are sod all use im afraid

Transmitter being the actual controller, right? And does it have a button for the weapon?

If it is a 3 channel or higher transmiter you will have a free channel for weapon control.

it is a 2 stick transmitter, one for drive, the other for a weapon, a button or swich can eaisliy added, like this done to my dx5e:

the transmitter is the bit you hold, the rx picks up the signal

So all the movement on the robot is tied to one stick?

Are there any other alternatives, where the robot has 2 sticks for movement and a button/switch for a weapon?

If you have some legos lying around you could buy some power functions and make robots like in Lego Robot Wars

TRB sounds like he just wants to build some robots that him and his friends can fight with, nothing competitive. Plus Hard Bot sounded like he wanted to modify the power functions, put some cardboard armor on it and enter into a competition.

Hard Bot? I see no Hard Bot in this thread?

On another note, how do I set it up, I would like to know in advance. What connects to what, and how do I script the thing?

SKBT · « **Reply #28 on:** July 20, 2011, 01:09:53 PM »

It's all plug and play. Connect the PWM wires to the receiver and go.

Nice. Can you give me a link to where I could buy these parts, or at least their names?

haz · « **Reply #30 on:** July 20, 2011, 01:14:01 PM »

yes, sure mate, i will get on it in an hour.

Badger · « **Reply #31 on:** July 20, 2011, 01:14:25 PM »

Thanks a ton.

May make a Google Sketch model and post a screenshot, to show my planned design. Think bulldog breed.

Thanks a TON!

What batteries do I use, and which of the servos do I use? I was going for either the top plastic or the first metal 1.

I'm confused with the batteries, if you could do a little more work, could you find a battery pack and charger for me?

I can't thank you enough.

haz · « **Reply #36 on:** July 20, 2011, 02:59:33 PM »

do you have msn?
i do make a robot kit (antweight) that comes with all the parts pre modded and ready to use would something like that interest you?

those servos are too big for an ant, i mean the 9g ones.

Badger · « **Reply #37 on:** July 20, 2011, 03:03:52 PM »

Yep, it's on my profile.

And I'd rather make ths one from scratch, even though I'm clueless.

haz · « **Reply #38 on:** July 20, 2011, 03:08:23 PM »

the kits are all the parts and two sheets of plastic. so you can make it how you like, if your interested.

sent a friend invite btw

Badger · « **Reply #39 on:** July 20, 2011, 04:05:16 PM »

Nah, I'll stick with what I'm doing.

Looking for the batteries.
