This is pretty cool for teaching Arduino, but most fighting robot builders on a budget use HobbyKing/Turnigy remote control systems. These are purpose built for this kind of thing, quite reliable, and cheap, especially if you wait for a sale.
- 20years 7y agoI was able to get the PS2 controllers at a discount at $8 per controller. If you can link me to better and more affordable ones, I would love to see them. Keep in mind this was self-funded, so we had to make a lot of compromises to keep things somewhat affordable.
- chromaton 7y agoI use one similar to this: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/hobby-king-2-4ghz-4ch-tx-rx-v2-mode-2.html https://hobbyking.com/en_us/hobby-king-2-4ghz-4ch-tx-rx-v2-m... . About $28 and includes a transmitter, joysticks, and the receiver. Most fighting robot builders using this setup don't need an Arduino, breadboard, sensor shield, any additional boards or configuration on the transmitter side, etc.
