Automonous Brat with ps2 control

Is there any reason I cannot have Brat automonous robot that also has the capability of ps2 control? I have an automonous Brat now and I think all I’d have to get is the ps2 controller (rc-01), the ps2 controller cable (ps2c-01), and the ps2 wireless controller receiver (ps2r-01). Is this correct? Would I also need the ps2 controller cable kit (ps2dyi-kt)?

I also ordered the parts I think are necessary to add arms to my Brat like was done in this post here: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5002
I’m not sure I ordered all of the right parts, i.e. micro brackets, etc. I don’t suppose there is a list floating around on how to do this and what parts are needed, or maybe even a tutorial, is there? I tried to figure out what I needed just by looking at the pictures and reading the post!

Any help would be grateful!
Thanks!

I believe all you need is the PS2 controller cable kit to make the modification.

So I guess the gray box IS the PS2 wireless receiver?

I think so. I’m not quite sure. :confused:

Not sure what you are referring to. I’d be happy to verify…

If you are refering to the reciever you would plug into a playstation if you were going to use the controler to play a video game then I believe that is the wireless receiver.

No, I was trying to figure out the part that goes on the bot itself to receive the signals from the wireless (hand) controller, if I understand how it works that is! Maybe it sounds weird, but I was hoping to be able to switch back and forth between autonomous mode and ps2 controller mode, or if it is even possible!

And yes, you can have an autonomous 'bot that is also receptive to commands over the PS2 link.
