MECH Puppeteer CP - Combat software
I had to take a break from MECH fabricating last week. So instead, I worked on some control and targeting solutions form my bot. Heres the result...
MECH Puppeteer CP (Combat Platform) Software
In regards to Robo-One wrestling and the like, this software would probably not be the best choice (it's not very efficient having to repeditively look back-and-forth between bot and monitor) but I chose the laptop as a form of control over a handheld controller since we're not going to be physically observing our bots in the area - rather through our bot's camera.
I've now got live video feed and successful two way communication (bluetooth serial) between my bot and laptop in one convenient location. There's also a full safety system implemented that will help ensure misfirings from occurring while people are in the vicinity. There's all sorts of support for goodies in this thing... gun firing, rocket launching, and flame throwing to name a few!  There's still a little room for more... so we'll see where that goes.

Re: MECH Puppeteer CP - Combat software
Holy crap man, I'm blown away. What language did you use to build that?
And when do we get to see your Mech?

I think what you found is the first release of MECH Puppeteer (v1.01b) for use w/ the MR-C3024. As far as being able to use it w/ other robots, I can’t say. This new version (CP), however, is geared more towards our theme and isn’t quite finished yet. This leaves it open for discussion of what could possibly be included (within reason of course as I have somewhat limited programming abilities).
What I’ll probably end up doing is setting up an ini file or something that the operator can use to define the output making it compatible w/ a wider range of bots.

Believe it or not, it’s a VB6 app. I spent most of my time in Photoshop drawing controls. All the push-buttons illuminate when they’re pressed, but I still think my favorites are the launch switches w/ the covers.

I want to get the turret closer to being finished up before I do any unveiling.
He’s painted with mil-spec CARC green - so those of you thinking of using radar will have some trouble detecting this MECH  .
