- This week I test 4-ish cheap toy RC controllers
Not Spon, Not afflilate
The one I quite like: www.aliexpress...

Regular schedule: Saturdays
These are some interesting options. Thanks for putting this video out!
I will say, I’ve gone undefeated for two tournaments in the 1lb class running a wedge on controller option no.2. That one is intuitive for some people and with the right robot speed it works amazingly. It even failsafes!
There is a version of no.2 with a left/right stick, but I have no idea if it mixes the channels or not.
Oh that is good to know!
If its intuitive for some people then it definitely could be useful
Congrats on being undefeated
@@TeamPanicRobotics its incredibly intuitive, at least for me, its the exact same controls as the lego tanks I used to make as a kid and its the only type of control I can actually drive anything with skid steering with, tho it shocked me to learn that its not verry common nowdays on the high end
for the second controller, I never understood why people dont like that style of comands, its the ONLY style of comands that I can accept for skid steering, am verry proficient in it and I am totally unable to use 1 stick to control both driving and turning, like, I cant go forward, idk how to push a stick forward and have it go only forward, and then I have to think extra as its 2 commans on the same stick which is super confusing for a skid steering system...
When are builders gonna realize voice commands are the future
Grow up. You cannot use voice control in a noisy environment
Real steel style I like IT!!
@@Dust599 let the guy dream
@@Dust599 *REALLLLY* ?!?! (don't be a jerk. It was obviously a joke)
one guy on the weapon, the other guy on the controls
"LEFT LEFT LEFT FORWARD RIGHT LEFT BACKWARD SRIMECH RIGHT RIGHT LEFT FORWARD FORWARD"
"SPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNN"
Nice video showing super-cheap options. But yeah I would definitely go with Flysky controllers. Although I was wondering if LORA could be used for building Combat Robot controllers...
I hadnt heard of LORA but I just looked it up.
Most rules state digital spread spectrum radios must be used, but it seems like LORA might meet that, IDK, if the rules have a stipulation about the bandwidth of the transmission then it wont be usable
@@TeamPanicRobotics I see, then it depends on the events and I might need to speak with the organizers whether it's allowed. I wanted to look into LORA because it works over super long distances so I thought that this would help me make a Long Distance Remote control, although it might need to be line of sight.
Could the beeping buttons on the best choice be some sort of range/deadzone adjustment for each stick? Looks like a really great way to get started, especially for younger/less experienced builders :)
I was considering building a couple of ants as a tester "robotics group" idea and wondered if i bought 2 of the chosen controller and receivers would they conflict with each other or can they tell the difference from each other?
Unfortunatly I cant say for sure, as I only have 1 of each.
They all seem to have some kind of bind mode, so in theory they should not conflict with each other but I cant guarantee that
The final cheap option looks like a wii nunchuck
Haha yeah for sure! if you look online you can find a bunch of things that look mostly like, but not quite a nunchuck.
Seems to be a popular thing to clone in china
E, yes, E, in fact, E
My nRF system lags like mad so I might look into some of these for my next build
Thats interesting, I never had any lag with my NRF stuff, but I moved away from it for weight and lazyness reasons
@@TeamPanicRobotics Well it mostly lags through walls.
Also I switched to an Arduino with a built-in nRF chip so maybe it's that.
Hmmm, maybe, I've recently got an arduino with built in nrf, I'll have to test it for lagging at some point
FIRST !?
