They MechWarfare bots are sort of a different animal to build. There's more
complexity than a tank, but they don't need to be as rugged. Gary is THE MAN
for MechWarfare.
I've been working on a quadruped (four legs) for a while. I want to use the
same basic architecture for the MechWarfare bot as my next tank. There will
be a PICO-ITX to handle communication and stream video over WiFi. There's
also an Arduino board to handle the gaits (Mechwfare bots need to walk) and
general I/O. I've made good progress but I still have more to do. I have the
software about 70% done, including multi-camera hi-def video. The hardware
has been bread-boarded but I still need to have boards built. I'm currently
working on the gaits to make the thing walk better.

Subject: Re: [TANKS] electronic switches
Off topic here on my part but I looked at the Mech Warfare sites and they
look cool but way over my ability to build (right JP?)......
Gary,
Is there a site for schedules ?

a PWM output, it will work just fine as a momentary switch, the operating
threshold for the switch is adjustable. They don't latch on, just turn on at
a given PWM level and turn off when above or below that setting, depending
on configuration.
