Great pics. I noticed the basic micro chip has a logo sticker on it. Mine does not have that.
ok guys i think i got all the bugs worked out today at lunch.
(again big thanks to all the help here) i will try to give credit to all those
who helped
i took a short video and will be posting it some time tonight 
I’m not sure if this will work on your controller receiver, as it’s not the lynxmotion one, but you can actually make the receiver ALOT smaller and more portable and lighter for the robot. The link below is a tutorial on how to do it. I did it on my receiver and I can fit it almost anywhere now.
wow7 thanks for the advice. i was still dabating on what i was going to do with it. i think i will see how small it is with the cover off
also i just switched to a smaller 6v 1200 mah bat it fits nice right in the u braket if you could not tell in the pic of the front view the batt had got hot and melted so i got rid of it and thay may have been what cuzed my vs2 conector to stop working im not shore tho.
Brandon’s suggestion is a good one!
Although I’ve opened up the PS2 rcvr for a peek; I just use a set of .025" jumpers to wire up my PS2 rcvrs to my 'bots.

They are available in various lengths and colors. They slip over the pins of the PS2, and the .025" pins on various boards like BB2, SSC32…

KM6VV i like your idea do you have any pics of that
im not shore i fully understand what your doing
tell me if i am rite you are eleminating the ps2 adpter cable an wirein the rcvr strate to the board with the jumpers u linked
Yes, I’m just replacing the bulky cable with a half-dozen jumpers.
The contest entry “Creepy Hybrid” has pix of a quadruped robot with the PS2 rcvr wired into a BB2 with jumpers.

Any of the builds that use the PS2 typically have drawings of the pinout of the PS2 rcvr, and where they connect to.

Yikes! a Slavtion scout robot! Hide! Hide!
judgement day is upon us 
our i could just get my pin and papper out and do some homework and ohm my adpter to see what pin is what
In the link I provided you with, there is an image which shows which pins connect to which wires. you may want to take a look instead of spending a lot of time re-figuring it out. only took me 5 minutes and thats how long it should take you. 
ok i will have another look thanks again for the help
i got a shot video up of my brat. it kinda sucks i was in a hurry
but anyway here it is youtube.com/watch?v=y2wbz7FoZNY
You did a great job with the wireless controller. I noticed the hip servos were not used very much in some of the moves. Not using the hip servo restricts your brat to only 2° freedom at times. If you position all three servos for each step, you will get better results. If it helps any take a look at my video which has lots of walking in it.
thanks sn96 and i took a look at your video again and i see what your saying. i will be working on that, i think it might have been because when i was making the steps that one hip servo was not enabled. i still have a lot to learn and a long way to go before my goal of a humanoid bot is accomplished
