In this project I will be hacking the “R.A.D RC Robot” created in 1998 by the now defunked “Toymax”. Although the item is old, its not particularly hard to find on eBay, I picked up two for £40.
I am planning on giving the R.A.D Robot eyes, ears and a voice, for more technical information on the hack please visit the Project Plans page.
What is R.A.D?
R.A.D
is a Radio Controlled toy with lights, sounds and a lot of RC type
features, it uses a controller for the following functions:
Left Tracks Forward Left Tracks Backward Right Tracks Forward Right Tracks Backward Torso Forward Torso Backward Arms Open Arms Close Microphone (There is a Mic on the controller, you talk into it, and R.A.D will play the recording) Fire Missiles Shift (used for turning sound and lights on and off)
