Tank
Don't like 2-stick "tank" steering? Need a stick free for weapon control? Using a gyro for drive stabilization?
The tinyMixer combines the "left/right" (Aileron) and "up/down" (Elevator) channels of a single stick into two
individual drive channels.
This allows you to maneuver the robot with just one thumb, leaving the other open for weapon control.
Invert Function: If your robot gets flipped upside down but is still drivable, you can invert the controls and
drive it as if it were still right-side-up. Alternatively, you can invert while right-side-up and make the back
of the robot into the front. This can be useful if your robot has both a weapon and a wedge and you want to
attack with the other.
Radio Failsafe: All* combat events require a robot to cease movement when radio contact is lost. The
cheaper channel mixers do NOT do this.
(*There are still a few events that allow the lowest weight classes to compete without failsafe, as long as the
robot does not have an active weapon. Ask your event organizer.)
Features:
- Ultra-compact and lightweight. Smallest full-functioned mixer on the market!
- Radio failsafe makes this mixer safe and legal for all combat robot competitions.
- Can set to either Mixed or No-Mix (2-stick, aka "Tank") mode, with Invert functionality on both.
- Bright blue status LED can double as power indicator.
