Hello,

To actually program the robot controller is a little bit complicated task. The processors are PICs and don't lend themselves to easy programming. I would love to dissect one of these controllers to see how the programming circuit is wired.

This idea, to try and overrun a buffer in the RC to execute code, not a bad idea. It is a greater possibility. However think about the sequence for data from the radio. The PIC reads the output from the radio (very small packets) and splits it into even smaller packets. Fitting malicious code in tiny packets will be very difficult, at least.

I don't remember if the PIC is a Harvard or von Neumann (sp?) system. However if it cannot execute stuff from the data parts of the processor, overflows will be very hard indeed.

Good luck with your experimenting.

However, I will stay away from u at competetion... =)

btw, the master processor is not normally programmable. And its code is not readily available. I have asked IFI before, and they have refuse, citing the possibility of ignoring competetion commands.
