our team hooked the new EDU controller to an R/C system we had from a few years back (that we used for older robots)

I think its an AirTronics 4 channel FM system (will check later)

it worked perfectly - students had our EDU bot running around in no time at all, using the default code in the controller.

Personally I like the new hobbie R/C transmitter setup - it lets you put the whole EDU kit into a container (from last years game) and carry it around - and we dont have to share the Operator Interface with the full sized robot anymore.

and, now we have two Robot controllers for the EDU kit, the new one and last years, so you could build two robots with the one EDU kit, and have mini competitions if you really wanted to.
