$80 RF Tank - from Walmart

MAKE: Blog: $80 Tank / robotics platform - from Walmart

"M1A2.1

Geminicricket sent us in this $80 RF tank found at Walmart that seems like it would make an excellent supply of parts to procure from - "I was in Walmart today and saw a great deal that'll be loads of fun and might be exceptionally useful to someone with more skill in electronics than I. A 1/9th scale Abrahms M1A2 tank for $80. It was originally $200. The battery in it (a 12V 7Ah) is worth around $40 so it would be worth buying just to retrieve the lead/acid combo...It is amazingly huge: 3' long with a turret that measures 12" by 16"...

Must… control myself… must not… get this… must… control…
