More people need to do this! I had my startup as "roboteers stand by" and my arm switch to "activate" and unarmed "cease"

[@aserta]

Or do as we did to a friend. Changed his custom tones to moaning sounds and phrases of the line "yes, touch my buttons", because that's the way.

[@nopparuj]

aserta set start up sound as “you’re turning me on”

[@samuelt321]

Startup sound is definitely the most important aspect to customize. :-D

This is great Robert. One of my favorite special functions was with Kraken at Maker Faire. They dual-rated their radio, and when they flipped a switch that put the drive at maximum, along with turning the eyes red on the bot. Looking forward to more radio videos.

[@RobertCowanDIY]

yes! people need to do more fun things with their radios. I have a switch on mine that automatically brings the weapon up to ~20% or so. Makes it easier to start a match, since it's a momentary switch, you can just flick it, it gets the weapon spinning, and then you can adjust it from there.

Thank you for the Audacity WAV file settings tip! My QX7 did not want to play my wav files and the 32000hz and mono mix down did the trick. Works great, thanks!

[@awesomerobotics3156]

Love the choice in audio files!

[@craftobia1946]

True. It is the most important part of a robot. But nobody talks about it😃

[@EleanorPeterson]

Nobody talks about it? That's right! The first rule of Robot Fight Club is -

[@lethuer]

don't know if it is allready mentioned here... With my Tango 2 only WAV files with a filename consisting of max 6 letters are found and they have to be located in "SOUNDS\en"

[@ke6gwf]

Please make your next video on "Selecting the Perfect Robot Colour Palette for Fun and Profit!" And after that you can do "" Horse Stance or Tiger Pose; a Primer on Crushing the Battlebots Team Introduction"

[@machine2747]

First! Looking forward to this series. There's never enough information on the radio side of the hobby. Thanks!

[@Sillyzombie666]

So where are the thumb sticks one the remote 9n tue left, just looks like a weird 3d printed center

[@EleanorPeterson]

Don't worry - those are just protective covers to stop the gimbals getting knocked about and wrecked in transit. They lift off, and the regular sticks are hiding underneath. (You're right, though - they do look pretty weird!)

[@CockroachFPV]

That first start up sound is perfect for turtle mode.

[@mikolajmikun5337]

In my QX7 work wav, u-law 8000 HZ 64kbps, mono

[@adamterry9927]

Good explanation!

[@RusikFPV]

tnx bro. it helps

[@borisfellerath2485]

So much fun video !!!! Do you have any sound pack available ????

[@jrrobotics]

Nice video man

[@eformance]

You need a robot named Zod, then you can have the turn-on sound play "Kneel before Zod!"

[@IVAN_ENT]

Lol I build fpv quads and used to watch robot wars as a kid I think I have a new hobby haha

[@JonathanRansom]

How much do one of those puppies run?

[@EleanorPeterson]

Hi, Jonathan! Possibly around £180 in dusty old-fangled British pounds. The carbon-fibre effect is printed on and costs extra; fancy Hall-effect sticks will increase the price, too (IMHO they're swanky but not essential for combat robotics). So... about 180 quid. Not sure what that is in US dollars, though. $230, maybe? Hard to say, because the value of investments can go down as well as up. The cheeky blighters. I think dollars originated in Bohemia/the Czech Republic, didn't they? Dalers/thalers from Joachimstal? Whatever. A Taranis Tx would set you back at least three furlongs, a groat, and two podules in the States. Incidentally, I know nothing about the illegal puppy trade and feel I should alert the authorities to your alleged involvement in their trafficking or 'running', sir. Have you no shame? ;-)

Please name v2 of Psychotic Break Clinically insane

[@mikeo301]

Do you have a link for that sound I would like that as my start up sound as well. Also would this be easy to do for the Tango to pro. Thanks

[@RobertCowanDIY]

Eh, I just googled and found the files. I'd have to grab my radio and pull the files off of it. Just google around and see what you can find. Just make sure the format is compatible. I go over that in the video.

[@Sillyzombie666]

i have a sound from a game called tormentor x punisher and its the start round sound that would be perfect for a start sound but its nsfw just yells LETS FUCKING DO THIS

[@rahulghosh4289]

Robert I'm in serious problem when my bot get flipped though it can move upside down i face difficult to control the bot...im unable to make a aux switch system which will reverse the channels I'm using flysky fs i6s and sabertooth 2×12

[@RobertCowanDIY]

This radio doesn't natively work with OpenTX, so these tutorials won't work for you.

[@rahulghosh4289]

@@RobertCowanDIY i want to learn how to mix the channel to get inverted/reversed feed back just by arming a switch

[@RobertCowanDIY]

@@rahulghosh4289 I understand, but your radio is not compatible with these tutorials.

4:50 MODEL08 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@EleanorPeterson]

Wait a minute. I've watched the video eighteen times and counted the steps eighteen times and there are only 732, Robert, not the 734 stated in your video's Description. Typo or deliberate fraud? Scandal! Outrage! Conspiracy! Please explain!

[@RobertCowanDIY]

One of the steps is to watch it eighteen times, and the other step is to post a comment. So I'm right.

interesting...the rest of the world do 16000
