19. A system of powering a remote controlled vehicle comprising:
-
a transmitter, the transmitter able to receive vehicle control signals from a user and transmit the vehicle control signals; a vehicle including; at least one receiver; one or more modules, wherein a non-empty subset of the one or modules is a powered module and a powered module is a module having a power supply distinct from a primary power supply; a distributed network to which each of the one or more modules is connected; wherein the distributed network is capable of transmitting power from any module to any other module; and at least one primary power supply, the at least one primary power supply capable of servicing a base line power need of the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
