I don't need to buy a radio now, because I came across an old box in storage that had a bunch of my old RC stuff in it... One of the items in it was a 4 channel radio/receiver in good, working condition. Take THAT $120+ I would have had to spend!
...Which is good news because I think I need to spend about $50 just for a free rotation potentiometer to make my wind-vane work. I came across this one here which was actually recommended in another autonomous sailboat forum I came across.
Also, I came across another group of autonomous sail-boaters and a competition called WRSC.
And then there's this guy/group... They're planning to circumnavigate the planet with theirs!! And I thought it was ambitious to go to Catalina round-trip... Though they mention the plan is to use a 16 foot hull for that endeavor, and their current hull is 8 feet. Maybe my 5 footer will be the little robot boat that could. 😀
