Question about remote control.

[kevdemed]

I noticed that it is possible to control your robonova like an RC car.

Push forward, continuous walk.

Push backward, continuous backward walk.

Push left... well you get the idea.

Anyway, I was wondering what is required to modify my robonova in order to control him with an RC remote and have it more like a fighting bot.

Not only that, but is it also necicary to completely reprogram the robonova in order to function with the controller?

If you do not understand what I am talking about, here is a clip that's kinda what I'm going for.

I think it would be cool to do actions right on the dime!

Thanks for all the advice, and hopefully you have some for me on this subject!

P.S. Eh... Does anyone know if those Manoi PF01's will be on sale anytime soon?

Like that's never been asked before!

Hmmm... This kinda helps, but do I just buy a controller, or do I buy something else?

Hi kevdemed

Wireless PS2 controllers, seem quite popular.

Do a search for PS2 in this forum (particularly in the RoboNova& Hitec), there is quite a bit of info

i-Bot is also doing interesting things with a wireless PS2 controller he recently posted on the ROBOtic'07 thread:http://robosavvy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1694&start=15

Cool!

Except, I don't know how to modify a PS2 including the mad cats thing.

How do I go about doing that, and how do I program it to do so?

Are there any alternatives?

Will the Manoi's price drop anytime soon?

Find out after this message!

Oh.

And thanks!
