14. Radio-controlled Robot

The new challenges


We consider our tank-robot project as a very successful one - our creature can be nicely controlled remotely over Wi-Fi, or navigate around in the autonomous mode avoiding dangers and collisions. Still, there are questions which we could not answer:
  • Remote control over the Wi-Fi lags even if you connect your agents directly. Is there any better way to control the robot? Can the Radio Controlling system be the answer?
  • Do you really need to purchase expensive factory-made chassis, or there is some better way?
  • Could LCD displays be useful for a small robot?
  • Is it hard to use Li-Ion battery in the project?
To answer these questions - we decided to build a new robot, which will be a lightweight peer for our tank.
