Some remotes Like the Spectrum remotes have full channel failsafe. This means
that at low battery voltage or loss of radio signal they will go to the
failsafe position on all channels. This could be used to kill the tank in these
situations. They also make an add on failsafe to control 1
Way back in the stone age, my doctoral thesis was on the design of
fault-tolerant electronics. A lot has changed in the 25+ years, but
reliability theory hasn't changed much since Roman times when the
historian Juvenal coined the phrase Sed quis custodiet ipsos Custodes?
(i.e., But who will
All excellent points. At our current mobilization level, a hobby
standardized kill system is a moot point anyway. Besides, the Cromwell's
remote kill system has already been tested and validated. I just have to
make sure Marty's van is parked at the correct spot when something goes
wrong!
The Swiss basically turned their entire country into a Maginot line.

Chris,
That's one of the Swiss hidden bunkers.
The “Marty’s Van” kill switch technique worked for me, too. It must be a magnet
for out of control RCTC vehicles.

I went many times to Switzerland with “Youth Groups”, and we slept in their
underground nuclear bunkers – which was a cheap way to get a hotel room. They
have a fascination for WW III meltdowns.
As to comparing it to the Maginot line? Switzerland has a natural defense that
is much more
For the record, I must note that the out of control examples cited by
both Mr. Tyng and Rocket Man were both operator malfunctions. In both
cases, the RC systems were working as designed :-)
To my knowledge, in 10+ years of battling, we've never had a situation
where the tank was running
Then we need to solve the correct problem.
I propose a remote-controlled device be attached to each operator
with the capability to remove said operator from the control process.
For testing purposes the phasers should be set to Stun.

True Story: Before the Internet existed, a company called Tandem
Computers was started by some database exports on the West Coast for the
purpose of developing and selling fault-tolerant computer systems to
support non-stop database applications. One of the pioneers of such

Based on those studies, we should remove all humans from the equation

Skynet? That's like a dial-up modem network from the late 70's compared
to the Tri-Pact Battlefield Management Network scheduled to become
self-aware sometime in 2015.
