Remote control R/C Car v1 Aug, 1997
Version 1.0:
color CCD camera $150
video xmitter - ch 15 $ 24
12v battery $ 8
RC car $ 14
(uses 27mhz digital xmitter)
Modified the RC car antenna to improve range.
Tests find that the car can be controlled from
inside house by watching the video received from
car. Tests outside in garage, driveway and sidewalk
successful, but due to high-speed/low-torque of
motor gearing, car is easily stalled and cannot
navigate carpeted floor.
Need to replace motor gearing with high-torque,
low-speed system.
