Re: [TANKS] Re: Remote kill switch
Yes, indeed. The good ole days when all we had to worry about was cooperation between two U.S. and Soviet computers intent on destroying the world with nuclear weapons. Nowadays, there are over 1 billion (that's with a 'b') personal computers in use around the world (not to mention smart phones, tablets and embedded controllers), which are each approx 1 billion (that's with a 'b') times more powerful than the computers that inspired Mr. Forbin's pet project. When some insidious computer virus hooks them all together under one user's control, then we have something to worry about. Fortunately, most of those computers are kept very busy sending/receiving email, buying/selling unnecessary stuff and, of course, downloading porn.

The Forbin Project! Good movie and one of my favorite book series. In the second book we find an Earth at piece being run by the AI created by the old US and Soviet computers. For a non-violent entertainment, the AI converts the old human Naval warships into remote controlled fleets for remote controlled battles. If I remember correctly, Maryland had the champion fleet.

Re: [TANKS] Re: Remote kill switch
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 channel. these are usually used to kill the throttle on RC cars so they don't run away when they run out of radio range or low battery.

Re: [TANKS] Re: Remote kill switch
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 guard the guardians themselves?) and an anonymous sanitation engineer coined the phrase Custodite Hoc est simplex stultus (i.e., Keep It Simple Stupid). So, I ask the question: Is it more reliable or less reliable to add a secondary RC-based control system to a vehicle as a safety cut-off for the primary RC-based control system? Typically, the following topics are addressed when trying to answer such a question: 1) Will the RC-based kill system handle all of the same fault scenarios as the manual cutoff system? 2) Will the RC-based kill system introduce additional fault scenarios that must be handled? 3) Will the RC-based kill system use electro-mechanical parts that are more or less reliable than both the primary RC-based control system and the manual kill system? -- -- You are currently subscribed to the R/C Tank Combat group.

Re: [TANKS] Re: Remote kill switch
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 across the field in a manner that required the kill switch to stop it. Of course, we've had numerous examples where the kill switch was inadvertently activated during a battle, thereby rendering the vehicle a sitting (aka. dead) duck.

Re: [TANKS] Re: Remote kill switch
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 work was Dr. Jim Gray and he conducted a series of real-world studies based on *all* problems cited by Tandem customers over multi-year periods. The overwhelming conclusion of those studies was that people, not hardware, were the cause of most problems. Bear in mind, disk drives crashed in those days relatively often, compared to modern disk drives, so Tandem computers had duplicates of everything, including disks, CPUs, power supplies, back-planes, etc. In many situations, the trained maintenance personnel themselves were responsible for crashing the system. More often than not, the person shutting down half the system to replace a failed disk or power supply (which was routine back then) would shut down the wrong half. The ironic solution was to eliminate certain types of routine maintenance and just let the system keep running. For example, they might need N disks to run, but started with N+4 disks. When the first and second disk fails, they do nothing, waiting until the 3rd disk fails to replace all three. That way, they reduced the likelihood of stupid mistakes, without compromising system reliability. Based on those studies, we should remove all humans from the equation and just let the tanks battle each other. Unfortunately, that means that the Pittelli X-Prize Problem (i.e., autonomous tank operation) needs to be solved and that probably won't happen anytime soon :-) On 11/17/2014 12:57 PM, Mike Lyons wrote: Then we need to solve the correct problem.

We have years of experience catching errant tanks that have stopped responding to the operator's commands. Just give us the description of the tank, the designation number, its speed, and general direction it was last seen going, and we will be back within a week with your beloved tank. We haven't lost one yet! All claims in this add may not be 100% true. Any damage sustained while catching the tank are the responsibility of the owner. We are not responsible for the loss of the tank in the event that we cannot find it.
