Hello, not sure where to post this, but i was after some advice about a robot (in the style of robot wars) doesnt have any weapons or anything it just moves around, someone has gave me. it has a futaba trasmitter T4YF, that much i understand.

Inside the robot there is a piezo gyro PG-03, then a futaba R136F reciever, then a motor controller, which drives two 24v dc motors.

so it goes forwards and backwards, then when you press sideways it drives one wheel one way and the other wheel the opposite to make it turn.

Can anyone please be so kind as to help me understand what the purpose of the gyro thingy is? and what sort of output you get from the reciever that this controller is utilizing??

Any help is much appreciated

Cheers Will :)
