Another way to understand how radio controls work and to receive ideas for my system I bought an RC car.  It has two controls on its radio controller.  One controls turning and one controls whether the car goes forward or backward.  Seeing as my final solution will be operated on two systems I decided I can use a similar controller, or the same controller.  The RC car moves faster that I would want my project to move so if I were to use the moving parts from the car I would have to gear them down significantly.

    Get with your partner and discuss this- items such as weight and size will need to be considered. I do have a book on gears if your need it.
