4. Using the RC-SOCCERBOT
Introduction
The RC-SOCCERBOT can be used with a RC transmitter or can be used as an “autonomous robot“ with free
programming on the PC. Both possibilities are briefly described in this chapter. For both possibilities and for
the power supply additional components are required
4.1 Power supply
Power supply and charging
Order No. R7100 - 2 x 6-NiMH1100 battery, 7.2 V / 1.1 Ah
Order No. R7001 - Plug-type battery charger, 7.2 V, 120 mA
4.2 Radio control
Radio control
Operate the robot forward, reverse, left / right turn, rotation, power shot and also with own, new movement
sequences by using transmitter and receiver.
Order No. R9100 - RB14SCAN 40 MHz receiver.
Order No. 4725 - Transmitter mc-12 40 MHz or any GRAUPNER/JR 40 MHz stick transmitter with at least
six functions.
The required adapter cable for connecting the receiver to the controllerboard comes in the RC-SOCCERBOT
box.
The adapter cable is connected with the receiver cable and the white plug is connected to the input „Digital
7“. The receiver is sticked to the base plate with velcro or double tape, best. The antenna cable can be laid
inside the robot or laid outside through the plastic cover using a plastic tube. The antenna cable has to be
laid with distance to the motors!
The basic programm for radio control is already preinstalled on the controllerboard, so that you can use the
robot immediately after powering on. The left remote control stick moves the robot to the front, back, left and
right. The right stick lets the robot rotate in place and activate the striker. The directions of the sticks can vary
according to attitudes of the transmitter. Read in addition the operation instructions of the transmitter.
This basic program can be found on the CD or under
