These radios are known to work for Robot Combat. They are modern "spread spectrum" digital radios which allow several robots to be operated at the same time with no radio interference among them. Also, they will "fail safe" appropriately if used with a standard receiver. Radios in this list can currently be purchased.

Legacy radio systems can work perfectly, but they use older protocols, and you can't reliably buy new receivers that work with them. You can sometimes find replacement receivers on eBay or other sites, but if you are starting out there are plenty of inexpensive radios to choose from.
