I am wanting to design/build a robot with mecanum wheels. Is it possible to connect the 4 independent motors straight to a rc reciever and program the remote control to drive the servos. Basically i need to know if its possible to build this robot without the use of a microcontroller and other electrical devices. Also, any other input would be greatly appreciated.
