1. Bread Boarding and Operating The IFI Robotic Control System

2. Become familiar with the parts and terminology associated with the basic operation of the IFI Robot control system. Set up and operate the IFI Robot Control system using the default control functions. This Slide Show will help the BattleBots IQ Participants:

3. The IFI Robot Control System The IFI Robot Control System is comprised of two sub systems The Operator System and the Robot Control System. The Operator system This System accepts control inputs from the human operator through joysticks, switches and Potentiometers. The systems also displays input/output data sent to and received from the robot The Robot Control System Includes “Onboard” IFI control components such as the Robot Controller, Data Modem, PC board, Victor Speed Controllers and Spikes.
