Part 2 Subsystems of the Robot

Part 2 Subsystems of the Robot

Functionally, the robot is made up of the following basic subsystems:

A.  Radio Control System (Control)
B.  Voice System and Moving Mouth (Audio)
C.  Cassette Tape Player (Audio)
D. Siren (Audio)
E.  Robot Battery Systems
F. Drive

Motors

G. Eyelids and Eyes Left and Right
H. Head Turning

The systems block diagram found in the Appendix, shows how the various

subsystems and their components are interrelated.

Following are explanations of each subsystem, some operating instructions, and

trouble shooting hints where appropriate.

CHAPTER 2

Radio Control System

The Radio Control System consists of the control transmitter unit held by the

operator and the receiver with its associated components in the robot.

The Radio Control Transmitter converts movements of the control sticks and

switches into a coded radio signal which is transmitted by radio to the Radio Control
Receiver within the robot. The signal is received and then decoded by the microcontroller
which is on the main circuit board. The micro-controller controls functions based on what
was sent from the radio control transmitter.

Refer to the diagram showing the radio control transmitter for the location of controls.

Extend the Radio Control Transmitter Antenna 1/4 to 1/2 way. Turn the Radio Control
Transmitter on first and then turn on the main robot power switch. Turn on the robot. It is
necessary for the robot to always have an operating signal when it is on. If there is no signal
you will not have full control of the robot.
