FIRST® Robotics Competition (FRC®)

Control System 1993

Control System Components

The control system was essentially a radio controlled car system and was not programmable. It had two major components:

Termiflex Controller - The driver controls (by a New Hampshire company)
Micro Controller - The RC-style robot controller

The radios were bypassed by unplugging them and connecting a cable tethering the Driver controls directly to the robot.
