i was thinking of the spinner charge due to the fact of damage to the arenas... its more of a " bring spinners to compete, but be prepared to help towards the repairs the arena needed after the event" my bots are made to be relatively fast to repair (although next event i think i will have...

i think the 2 free robots rule then x amount (i think £5) per extra robot up to 4 makes sense... an extra cost for spinner entries (or any high damage high velocity weapon) even if entered in the free category (say £10 per spinner) would work dropping fight times to 2mins max would help with a) ensu...

i love my transmitter... does everything i need it to do and costs less than £35 with a receiver... i would recommend it... yeah, mantis did what its meant to pretty well... took me 4 versions to get it to this stage and still needs tweaks... i wanted to build a grab and lift as its a rare bot to se...

depends you your transmitters protocol...

spektrum uses dsm2/dsmx
flysky uses afhds/afhds2a

theres more...

i can only recommend flysky stuff as i dont use spektrum...

so yeah, we can help better by knowing your transmitter brand and model number...

cheers Chris... great event... a big congrats to the winner (not mentioning names incase people who didnt attend want to see the video)

almost... just waiting for some motors to arrive as one if the drive motors is dead... weapon however... that very much works...

usually you get brown outs due to the servo drawing more than the bec inside your esc can put out... usually brownouts occur when a high power servo has to move something heavy... regular servo's (6v max) should be fine running straight from the bec inside your esc... 6v bec beats 5v bec... i think ...
