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 ...

Has anyone got a video of spall and its knife? I can't seem to find it.

No problem, and also its good it has saved some weight now. There should always be some one in to sign for it and I will PM you my adress shortly.

To get assailants wheels off just remove the tyres on them and there should be grub screws you can undo. There is also an amount of superglue, thatn should break easily, though they may take a bit of force. I don't mind re-glueing them.

Thank you for taking a look at the robot it is good to know that it can be helped. The next step i was going to take was to put some supression capacitors on to see if that did anything to cure it. @Beligerant, I don't know how the motors are interfering with the receiver but I found (at brighton) t...

I could but then I don't have as much torque as using 6 motors would, Bear in mind things like defiant need to be pushed!
