This video was made in response to comments from some of you guys looking to get into combat robots. This isn't a full on tutorial video, but it should provide a good starting point for those who need a run down on the basics and don't know where to start. Happy building!

Great tutorial - 10 points to Griffindor!

[ishumshark]

Succinct, informative, and clearly illustrated. This helped me visualize a lot of concepts I've read about, and made it seem so much more attainable. Thanks for the video! I'm saving it for future reference.

Now we need a video that covers arduino based RX and TX, 2.4ghz nrf24L01, potentiometers, power supply, etc for DIY TX, along with the sketch program breakdown and pinouts.
Also... Thanks for putting this video together. Easy to watch, good pace, thorough overview, clear presentation etc. Nice work.

Thanks for explaining it like this. This is much simpler than I thought. Every time I tried to read up on forums, I didn’t understand it. Thanks for explaining it so well.

Thank you sooo much. It’s hard to find videos like these so I have just been testing things without direction. This helped so much. I love your stuff dude.

Good video was wondering where to start since one of my dreams was to make a full size battle bot but this is helpful for making my first and understanding

Really good guide man. Used to race rc cars but it's been a couple of decades since I did. Great tutorial.
