Re: Ant Freeze 2.5 - 26th September 2015 Nuneaton

I'm afraid I'm going to have to be a nuisance and ask if anyone is able to help me with transport between the venue and the train station? I'm happy to help with petrol money, of course.

Re: Team 1202 Build Diary

If you're talking about bi-directional control, the best one for ant use is the Fingertech TinyESC. Technobots sell these in the UK, but unfortunately they're out of stock at the moment.

Re: Another New Antweight..

Needing any specific weapon for the sole purpose of countering a design which cannot otherwise be countered by intelligent design decisions in your preferred design is bad for the sport. However, Rory's build thread is hardly the place for this discussion. There is already an EDF thread if you want ...

Re: Another New Antweight..

Guess I need to go with my backup plan of putting an EDF in the new Void after these recent posts :roll:

Re: Antweight robot max 1,5 cm height

Hi Glant, One thing I think you've failed to mention which is important would be what kind of surfaces you're expecting this to work on. If it only needs to work on smooth, flat surfaces, the 15mm high requirement is very easy to fulfil without sacrificing much, as ground clearance won't need to be ...

Re: Team MedBots

Ooh, that's certainly a new development! They didn't have that option last time I purchased any. As far as I can tell, the precious metal brushes are the ones the motors have always had. I've had to dismantle a couple to repair the brushes and I'm sure I recall them looking like that. These are moto...

Re: Epic Robotics

Thanks! Yes, it is just PLA for now. Will get round to sorting out a heated bed at some point but have other things on the go at the moment. Really want to just get some robots up and running, even if they're not made of what they probably should be :P. I don't mean auto bed-levelling; I just mean t...
