Hi this is to be my first build, never having built a robot before I am unsure on quite a few things but initially so I can start to get the basics I want to build a very basic robot so not worried about which weight class it fits into for now and then go on to build another for fighting after I have the basics.

First couple of questions are;

I see alot of people using drill motors, how much power do these provide, ideally id like to be able to push a small child round on it, would I therefore need something abit more powerfull like wheel chair motors for example?

Obviously I need a transmitter, what is good starting point, after reading the forums I see most people saying DX6 or planet 5 can anyone recomend either of them or another one entirely.
