[FW] Tracked 4WD Lifter: Aegis

[R9000]

Thanks for the advice guys. It doesn't sound easy, but I do like the idea of using an arduino to intercept the RC signal. Looks like I'll need to do some research. As for the 'unused pins' idea, I have the stuff to program ESCs, but I have no real idea how hex files work. I could give it a try though. I guess there's always the alternative of adding some sort of slip clutch in the gearing, but I can just imagine that breaking and rendering the weapon useless in the middle of a fight.

-Edit:
Found some resources, I'll put them here for later and anyone else that reads this in future. Looks like this isn't as difficult as I thought.
