Saved, to glorify God.
18v R/C controlled toy tank from cordless drill mtr??
How hard would it be to build an 18v Radio Controlled Toy tank from an 18V cordless variable speed drill motor and an ordinary remote controlled toy tank?
My thought was to create a low cost home-made remote control search and rescue robots (for citizen rescue teams to use) for collapsed building search and rescue after A MAJOR EARTHQUAKE where the 7 to 10 or 12 Professional teams that are normally available for such things prove to be disasterously inadequate to help dig out LIVING survivors at the potentially HUNDREDS of sites where our buried and trapped loved ones wait for help BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY DIE from exposure,DAYS without water or from relatively minor injuries that more prompt rescue could have averted. The professional rescue robots are either NOT SOLD (Lease only, with their people to run em) or EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE.(We are talking THOUSANDS of dollars)
I am trying to figure out how much the toy tank, screwdriver, wireless Video camera w/microphone and any other necessary accessories might run to home build. The reason I thought a toy tank would be good is they have a turret that rotates, which a camera could be mounted on, the track wheels and an ability to "shoot" a pellet which could be converted to a switch to activate some other function.
The reason for the 18v is that the toy will only run an hour at most on its low volt power supply.
