hello,
i want to make my first robot, but i don't know how to start.
i've got 2 remote controlled cars. ive also got resistors, some pic's, pc817 and stuff like that.
i want the robot to ride, turn with the remote and by an pre-programmed program. maybe also something with arms or so.
You can use the PIC to send PWM pulses to the servos and ESC to simulate a radio receiver. Try just making it move in a circle (constant steering constant speed) first.

The Robot Room guy has a couple of books that walks you through building your first robot. Also available on Amazon or Half.com. Go for used books to save money.
NO REALLY, SO SIMPLE AND EASY YOU MUST IGNORE THESE OTHER PEOPLE AND BUY THIS BOOK!!! BUILT MY FIRST BOT WITH THIS BOOK AND IT SUPER EXPLANITIVE AND EASY, YOU WILL BE BUILDING OTHER BOTS SOON TOO!
(sorry for all caps, must shout out and keep him from ruining his EE dream, aka 123 robotic experiments for the evil genius, WORST BOOK EVER!)
I have to agree......... The 123 robotics experiments for the evil genius book is aweful, total crap. I bought it and was stunned that it was so bad.
Not all the evil genuis books are bad though, I have the spy book and its pretty good. Another book that is crap is Linux Robotics, dont waste your money.
The Robot builders bonanza is really good, at least the version I have is.
tnx souper man, this is what i was looking for
right now i'm on a cursus for programming pic's and that's working surprisingly well. i'm using proton ide. I liky that program.
