Bear in mind this is my first attempt at anything related to robotics. I bought a few RC cars from eBay as well as a wireless camera and a set of Virtual I/O head gear. The head gear has a head tracker built in so I thought "wouldn't it be great if I could control the car(s) with my computer and use the head gear to 'look around'?" So far i have a joystick that sorta controls the car, and the wireless camera/headgear combo works great. Still need to tie the head tracker into the operator module and make the mobile module "mobile". Just FYI, without knowing much about the topic I chose the IFI Robotics controller because it is supposed to have a saw tooth pulse rather than a stepped pulse and that (so I've read) is what the RC car's speed controller prefers. Were it up to me I would rather have a OOPIC controller because I already know C++ and would not have to mess with PBasic. Although I see that the newer IFI models support C++. Advice welcome!
