Innovation First

2001-09-25 20:21:16+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

At Burning Man I talked to the guy with the solar powered bed. He'd also placed fairly high in the BattleBots[Wiki] competitions. He recommended Innovation First controllers, they seem to have put together a lot of the tools that you'd want, a 900 MHz two way digital link, 30 amp motor controllers, etc, in one convenient (albeit slightly pricey) package. Now if I can just figure out what control system the guy who had the electric cart that followed him, automatically staying at a fixed distance, was using. More pedal powered stuff is obviously my prime directive, since Todd seems to be working on the electric vehicle bits, but I'm keeping my eyes open.
