Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] controlling a servo or stepper by Remote Contorl?

Battlebots are big big big RC cars, with a few enhancements. They use
big DC motors, but there is no need for feedback. Go to www.battlebot.com
and www.teamdelta.com for starters. A DC motor that would work for a
bridgeport
would probably work pretty well for a big bot. I'm thinking about building
both a
battle bot and an autonomous mobile robot. The autonomous robots I have
been buying
at work are obnoxiously priced.
