Re: MichaelG92's Build Diaries

MicroNewton got a quick run out at Bristol Bot Builders' event last Sunday, taking part in the 2v2s with Dave Weston's Stewie. And we did very well, finishing third. Sadly I suffered the same electrical fault in the two fights we lost that lead to MicroNewton stopping dead in its tracks both times. ...

Re: AWS 60 - Headington, Oxford - 30th Nov 2019

I'd suggest a combination of Kyro and Andrew's suggestions; see how many actually turn up on the day first, then if necessary ask teams with 4 robots to drop down to 3. If there's still too many I'd suggest that those teams with 3 robots nominate one to enter into pre-qualifying to claim the last sp...

Re: Ellis's (Team BANANAPHONE/A12) build log!

Ah mocks, the bane of my teenage years. Good luck with them! Am I right in thinking v2's chassis is bigger? Is it much heavier? Not sure I'd want MicroNewton fighting it anytime soon! Maybe one of my newer flippers which have much thicker fronts... Also, kudos to you for making a spinner as your fir...

Re: T_Y's Build Log

This looks great, I love your designs! I'll be very interested to see how the mechanum wheels work. Is the front plough stationary or will it rotate like Shockwave's?

Re: AWS 60 - Headington, Oxford - 30th Nov 2019

Wow, 143 now?!?! Was thinking of entering a third but definitely not now!

Is there an absolute hard limit on how many robots that can be fitted in?

Re: MichaelG92's Build Diaries

Only just had time to type this up after Sheffield, but Saturday was my first AWS and I thought I did quite well! After burning out ArmamAnt!'s ESC whilst putting it together I only entered MicroNewton, who did surprisingly well in her first event! After two quick wins against Percussive Maintenance...

Battery charger for 120mah Lipo

Hi all, I bought a commission bot from Team Panoramic, and to save weight Harry used the below battery. http://www.optipowerbattery.com/products/optipower-lipo-cell-battery-120mah-2s1p-15-30c/ I only discovered after trying to charge it that it doesn't have a balanced charging cable on it, it only h...
