Searching the rest of the internet for info on how to do stuff like this has often ended well for me, and I would suggest it if you haven't been there already. There are DIY people everywhere.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, if you have an old rc vehicle, and you are willing to let it die, figure out how it works and convert its controls to suit your purpose (nondestructive disassembly is important here, I made that mistake a while ago  ) |
I don't care about autonomous, and I did look for DIY pages. That's where I ran into a problem. I'd love a simple list of what stuff I need, where to get it, what works with what, ect. I know so little about the electrical side of robotics that I don't even know what there is to know. I don't really care about complex programming at the moment, but that could be nice later on if I choose. Can anyone direct me to a website that can teach me he absolute basics?
