Star War's R2D2 has inspired a generation of engineers and engineers-to-be to poursue the field of Robotics. If you ever dreamed of having your own droid, this article will shows how you could.

This page show step by step how to use Roboteq's motor controllers along with VIA's low power motherboards to build an Wireless LAN remotely operated Robot.

With the proper hardware it is possible to remote or computer control a full size gas-powered automobile. All that is required is to attach servo motors to the Accelerator, Brake, Steering and Transmission. The challenge with a large vehicle is the force with which to activate some of these elements which far exceeds this of the heaviest-duty RC servos. This is particularly the case of the brake and steering activation. When operated in the position mode, the AX2550 can be used to create very high-power servos capable of such operation.

Animated props are formidable attention getting and entertainment elements at exhibitions, theme parks and holidays. They involve articulating frames usually covered with "flesh and skin" to give the desired final appearance. This project shows how to use Roboteq controllers and commercial hardware/software to build large and heavy animated structures.
