How to make a cool robot from an RC car

This cool project is for high school students or any hobbyist who wants to make a cool robot.
I was trying to make an interactive robot long time but making one is not easy if you don't know any electronics or special programming languages. Now there is a programming language called nqBASIC, that is totally free, to make your very own robot.

Step 1: What you need?

You will need some parts for this cool project.

1) Go and find an RC car that has two DC motor in it. I found a very cheap car called thunder tumbler for $12.
Picture is below.

2) You will need a Servo Sensor controller card called SSMI. Here is the link to get it

This is a full featured application card, not only servo controller. Has breadboard, special connectors for servo,dc,distance measuring sensor,ultrasonic sensor, power regulator etc. etc. lots of feature.

If  you think its expensive there is a cheaper way to do it.

Here is the link.

You have to do some wiring.

Best Regards.
