>From someone who has not made anything move other than air
(sonar), so take with a grain of salt:
Regarding remote kill: Even on an entirely autonomous robot, it
seems that the remote kill is not a command as such, but the lack
of a Run signal. That is, if the robot loses the Run signal (be
it RF or IR or whatever), the drive batteries should be
open-circuited.
Probably obvious to everyone, so I'll go back to lurking.
(Reminds me of a park near my house. There's a sign that says all
dogs must be on a leash. I saw a dog running, dragging its leash,
with the owner strolling some distance behind. Well, the sign
didn't say the owner had to be holding the leash.)
