mustve worded it weird... i didnt say exactly that... i just said one robot uses the transmitter to send signals to the other via radio>servo>potentiometer. or other rotation sensor... or you can pull it off with a touch sensor if you use a servohorn too..
so the radio is just there to give signals notreally to actually control the other robot... which is a cool idea but will give me headaches just thinking about it..

hmm... well there is that voltage display... and stuff so im guessing itll hafta just choose the stronger return signal(from the rc)... i dunno but if there was a checker thing on the OI there wiouldnt be any interference problems would there?

ahh yes.... make one robot wave flags... or send smoke signals... the possibilities are endless lol... morsecode with a lightmight work too.
