	Remote kill switch From: 张杰 <zhangjie@longteng-co-ltd.gd.cn>
I would like to have a remote kill switch for autonomous systems (robots). This is in case of failure of the autonomous system. Of course, such a switch would not be needed if we always designed the system correctly… We should make this. I will create the transmitter and you will create the receiver. Jie.
