I don't know about amtel but I have been pretty successful with picMicrochips(go with 18 series so you can program smilar to the RC)
Can anyone explain to me the difference?
Atmel AVRs are relative newcomers to the field. While they don't have the same grip on the market as PICs they are fairly popular. They're much easier to get in to for hobbyists as their open architecture allowed the development of cheap programming hardware, as well as free C compilers based on the GNU GCC toolchain. They have decent capabilities and are quite capable chips.

They always have a strong support following at: http://www.avrfreaks.net/

If you'd like to know more, drop me a PM

I'm a FIRST relic of sorts, I remember when we used PBASIC and we got CH Flightsticks in the KoP. In my day we didn't have motorized carts, we pushed our robots uphill, both ways! (Houston 2003!)
