That is a bit of a concern! The new motors and repositioning and wheels give it a bit of a kick. Though I can now drive over push robots if I really want to. And do a stinger style attack.

It is a shame there isn't any race events like drag.

Never thought of a wheelie bar, I'll look into using some stiff wire to help witht hat one.

Finished my latest robot. And don't kill me for it it is called Accelerant. Yes I know it has ant in but it was the 'other name' fro Assailant which is no more. Weight: 149grams Armour: 4mm HDPE Weapon: HS82MG flipper Notes: Really fast, difficult to drive to be honest. http://i685.photobucket.com/a...

I know you don't have too but it is quite fun.

By the way has anyone taken Flatulant? Was thinking up some more comical names for a vacuum robot.

I also quite like 'warranty void' for a spinner (the ant in that isn't intended as part of the gimmick.).

I was planning on using it for one of my robots, or let my dad use it for his but I suppose you could.

As far as I am aware it isn't taken... Yet.

Hi Peter, Just wondering how far along the DSM2 motor boards were as I was consdiering one if you managed to get them working okay.

It may be worth also looking at other methods just with the shape. While assailant failed to self right on its back if it was on its side it could open its flipper and the protruding wheels would swing the robot out and onto its right side again. I just need to sort out on its back but it is for a r...

http://www.solarbotics.com/products/22150/ Would you consider the Naro HP BB a good servo for using to power a lifting fork on the front of an antweight with a arm no more than 4 cm? As I understand it should be (with a torque of 1.2kg/cm) 300g of force at 4cm? I am more concerned as to wether I wo...

Assailant arrived the other day! It is working great and I have learned a few important lessons from it to. Thankyou again peter!

I have decided to go for only four wheel drive in the end. Using four polulu 100:1 HP motors. However it will also have lifting forks on the front to help pick up and push other robots powered by a hs82mg servo or if a smaller metal geared one is known that can handle it that would be good. Would a ...
