    Robot Challenge

    Hardware

    We will be using Parallax RF Receiver #27981 on the robots.  It has a analog output which can be read by a microcontroller via an ADC.  We are opting for the ADS7818 12-Bit ADC for no special reason other than I had some laying around unwanted/unused.  The code in Basic Stamp has already been sent.  I believe I have the code for a PIC at home.  We will provide a Parallax RF Transmitter #27980 operating with code that has been sent.  The short version of the code is it simple repeats the transmission of a "1" followed by a 8-bit zero.  The receiver can lock in on this signal.
     
    We have extra for the receivers in case any high schools need them.
