4 User Selectable Frequencies

The Micro Rover has 4 user selectable frequencies that allow up to 4 friends can play at the same time, who can climb to the Top of that stack of files first? The ability to change the operating frequency at any time allows you to play with friends at a moments notice and not worry about interference from other users.

Pirouette on a Dime

That's the beauty of differential thrust vehicles, give one track reverse and the other forward thrust and BOOM, your spinning in place.

But you don't need to know how to drive a tank to drive _this_ tank. The 3 mixing modes allow you to optionally "mix" the left and right throttles together to give you fluid control that you don't need to think about, it just works.

Unbelievably Small

It's amazing how small and compact this miniature tank is, yet it's packed with neat features. Unlike many cheap toys that have all or nothing controls, you can control the motors with precision speed controls. Creep along at a snails pace, or put the coal to 'er and rip around your desktop at speeds that seem unsafe.

8 tiny LED's make this little crawler really light up! 2 headlights with High/Low Beams light the way for under the couch reconnaissance missions. The fire button on the top of the transmitter triggers the Laser sounds and lights.

3 User Selectable Mix Modes

"Standard Mix Mode" Left stick controls the master throttle rate. Moving the Left stick to the left causes the Micro Rover to fire its laser, moving it to the Right will toggle the LED headlights The Right stick controls turning.

"Tank Style Mixing" (Middle position of the switch) The Left joystick controls the Left Motor forward and backwards direction and speed. The Right joystick controls the Right Motor forward and backwards direction and speed.

"Robot Style Mixing" (Rightmost position of the switch) The Right joystick controls the master throttle when the stick is moved forwards and back, and stick movement to the left and right controls your steering to the left and right.



Channel Mapping

The middle switch is used to select exponential mapping functions and dual rate functions of the joystick controls. What does this mean in plain english? Let’s look at the 3 possible selections and what they can do for you:

The left position of the switch is the Default – this is the “Normal” mode where the motion of the joystick is “mapped” directly to the motor speed. This one is self explanatory.

The middle position of the switch is the “Exponential” mapping of the joysticks and this can give you smoother control around the center position of the joysticks while still giving you full throttles at the extremes, The smoothness or “dampening” around the middle area of joystick motion is where you will be doing most of your fine controls, so this enhances your precision while still outputting 100% at the extreme ranges of the joysticks.

The right position of the switch is the “Beginner” mode or “Dual Rate” mode. Beginner mode dampens the controls throughout the entire range of motion of the joysticks – limiting your full throttle to 50% even at the extremes. This is a good mode to use when you want to teach someone how to pilot the Micro Rover by limiting access to full power at extreme ranges of the joysticks. Beginner pilots tend to want to use full throttle in all directions at once! So this allows them time to learn before they get way out of control.
