The hobbiest stuff out there is mostly rubbish. The RC
market just is not set up for controlling 130 lbs
robots with 100+ Amp motors (except for their drive
motors with are very powerful indeed).

The roll your own controller stuff out there (the
single board computers with radio modems and relay
boards, and H bridge boards, etc.) are going to cost
you much more and will have many more problems.

If I were you, I would save up my money and go with the
Innovation First stuff. You will be happier in the end.

In an effort to try to duplicate FIRST's controller,
before they were commercially available, I was part of
an effort to reverse engineer much of the FIRST
controller as well as to find reliable radios to send
and recieve data. We spent a lot to time and were not
very happy with the results in the end. Innovation
First's stuff is hard to beat price-wise given the
performance.

Just my advice.

Joe J.
