John, thanks for the info. Actually I should check there and Toys'R'Us.
You
could save $$ by getting rid of the R/C. Like Dan, I'm interested in
autonomous
operation. I've decided to add a 2nd H-Bridge with a PIC16F84 to my
controller.
That way I can control two motors via RS-232 or direct serial input. My IR
proximity detector uses a PIC12C508. I'm definitely keeping things modular.
