Ok, I fear i'm double posting here, but I hope it's worth it. Here is the first working NanoTwo HP, finished this morning (having been only designed last Thursday :L ) https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t31/q87/r270/s720x720/1781699_10151954683091845_2091546271_o.jpg 13mm x 13mm ...

Went to the open last year to just watch... Seeing as I'm only a few miles away and should have my car with me by then, I'll almost certainly be there... this time with robots

Ah, very nice solution! Yeah, classic case of waiting for something to come along, then two arrive at once :P Hopefully our ESC's are different enough not to kill the market; I've just bought about £100 worth parts to start work on the first batch :L Do the reprogrammed brushless ESCs retain their o...

Around 58g (the whole thing weighs ~98g), which should mean it has a reasonable amount of grip, certainly more than it has now... If I can find the space I'm gonna try add some extra weight, and hopefully should cure some of it's problems.

I've given up on trying to get it to self right, especially now my 'franken-servo' has died, so I'm back to a low powered blue one. Instead I've gone back to my original plan and got it to run inverted... it's not ideal as the wheels are lifted off the ground when it's upside down if the flipper is ...

Well if you're lucky I may, MAY have the prototype heavy duty version of the NanoTwo up and running by the AWS (3A/channel, 18v max, 13mmx13mm), though I only designed it about 2 hours ago :L All the parts are arriving tomorrow, and hopefully I can persuade the uni to print my boards asap; I want to...

No, I'm using a different chip; I have one that I'm using for testing atm, although just ordered 50 more :P They seem to be pretty robust from the tests that I've done, though i plan to do some more rigorous tests soon (*EDIT* just been running both Tinny's motors in parallel off the one driver chip...

Ok, got the second prototype up and running now without too much trouble; at least I now know it's repeatable :L BTW, If I were to build another controller with only 1.2A continuous per channel (2.5A peak) at a max of 10V, do you think that'd have enough headroom to run a 2WD 2 cell ant reliably? I ...

Yeah ok that all sounds far too much like hard work :L I only ask really as a friend is looking to sell one of his projects (nothing to do with robots :L) and hadn't looked into the legalities till i mentioned it.. Plus if it wasn't a problem then I might have stuck a few of my boards on there just ...

They'll probably be selling for somewhere around £30, which i know isn't remarkably cheap, but they're not the quickest or easiest things to build :L The boards are currently 21x21x6mm, although that may change slightly as there's a few routing errors in the prototypes, which when fixed may change t...
