No I just typed it a bit fuzzy , im making 2 different battery packs
One pack which will be 7,4v 240mAh.
The other pack will be 7,4v 340 mAh.

Yeah its 2 2-cell packs, 240mAh and 340mAh for my ants, just to more easily place them and secure them.

The hitec mg81 servo is a good example of a decent fl...

Im not after a used lathe but a new one but didn't know where to put this. I have for a while now been thinking about buying a lathe mostly to use for ants and FW's. One of those i've come across has been this one: http://www.sieg-scandinavia.com/shop/sieg-c1-micro-lathe-185p.html has a 140mm capaci...

It's looking very good

I'm alive, it's not my time to go yet, humanity needs me!

Are there any of those?! A mate posted a vid of a robot plowing for them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPg1ZMiC9pA&feature=player_embedded This really caught my eye and it would be cool if you guys know of other robots which could come in handy at home. Not kits availible for purchase but rath...
