The big picture on the pan/tilt cam setup is that simple servo control is possible even over the net. Simple servo routines are also possible if needed. Might be a little klunky, but simple joystick control of the servos over the net is probably possible too. Below are some small cheap transmitters and receivers that might be of use on a tiny bot.

cool! i was looking everywere for those RF trans/recive
but how do you use them :question:

careful, do you have a regulator on that 9 volt? if not your asking to cook your servos

Below is some more tx/rx info. Most of these are used in rf remote controls and such. I think fsk ones may be more tolerent of interference than the ask ones. I haven’t used them so YMMV.

Nice work with the mechano brackets. I used to love those things!!

Looking good bud. Very creative. I’m hoping you are planning to buy a 5/6V regulator for that 9V. I don’t want to see you burn all your servos out.

There’s a lot of good info in the SparkFun forum:
sparkfun.com/cgi-bin/phpbb/v … a64a6623df
SparkFun also sells several types of wireless modules.
I also recommend Reynolds Electronics:
rentron.com/

Be aware that the simple RF modules are NOT just a plug-in replacement for a serial cable. You need some software on each end, but it’s not complicated.

so i geuss it wasn’t just luck when i tested the servos :laughing:

Hows the mini-Brat coming? Any updates?
