BrainBot Voodoo Control

So, I spent the last couple days adding "voodoo" control to BrainBot...

Inspiring...It actually looks like a pretty effective control mechanism - particularly for close quarters Robo-one style combat.

Perhaps this would be a good use of some of the AX12+ Servos that I have managed to 'thread', but where the Potentiometer mechanics are still intact.

I have an old 6 axis robot arm that comes with this form of control and it works well. For full combat you need a full suit with arm and leg sensors that would be really good. I believe I saw somthing about this some time ago before I got serious about building a humanoid but I cant remember where.

hmm. I was all gung-ho about this type of control until I actually implemented it in a basic form..

Maybe I should of given it more of a chance.

Yeah, I first did it back in January (2007) using a couple servos, just for fun, but it didn't occur to me to use it to control one complex robot with another.
