What is the best way to build a battlebot with a remote control car?
For my physics class we are building battle bots from remote control cars. I was wondering what is the best way to do it. What kind of weapons could be operated through a remote and how could I mount it?
Some rules are:
cars max length width and height 24 inches all dimensions
no projectiles
no cords or control chains to operate the car
Unless you are “allowed” to build your own RC remote/receiver, hacking an existing RC remote will be a pain in the butt. Of course if you are allowed to build from the ground up, you have tons of options.

The Clash (UK Version) $4.55 The Clash’s label didn’t believe this debut would sell in the United States. By the time CBS got around to releasing a stateside version of the U.K. album, the British original had become an import hit. While the U.S. release contains outstanding tracks such as “Complete Control” and “Clash City Rockers,” it’s still missing “Cheat,” “Protex Blue,” “48 Hours,” and “Deny.” No matter which version yo… |

Exit Through the Gift Shop $15.97 It wouldn’t be in character for British street artist Banksy to reveal all, even in a film about his work–nor would it be legally prudent. Instead, the elusive stencil-master, face concealed via hoodie, shines a light on amateur documentarian Thierry Guetta. Based in Los Angeles, the French-born bon vivant films everything.
