Other on team #419 from Umass.



Ok, if I was to buy one (control system) new ...how much would it cost me. And no this is not for the Rambots #419 and Yes it is for a personal lawn/grass cutting super machine that will cut grass while I'm sitting and almost doing nothing....that is if the control system don't cost me more than importing an illigal immigrant landscaper.....Say Anton! sell me the control system from last year........what if I say please....

but the actual price can be found on www.innovationfirst.com

as for last year's stuff, i think we'd rather keep last yaer's bot intact for charity events and stuff.

illegal immigrant landscaper might be the way to go. Prices are approx. RC -> $565 OI -> $435 Radio Modems (pair) -> $300 Speed Controller -> $105 Relay ->$35

However if you want an electronics project buy a chip from parallax and radio modems from an electronics store. It could save you big bucks.

hmmmm...if you make that maybe we could use it for our robot next year...with a few additions...or even in battlebots...lets see if we add a spike mallet, it would have blades to cut other bots up, and a mallet to beat them about the head for kicks
