Re: Team Coolspeedbot's robot builds
Thanks, did a test run last night and it ran smoothly.

Trimmed the wires on the ESCs now just need to fix the receiver down and switch to the lipo battery. did a test run, Killer-Wolf is nearing completion.

Re: Team Coolspeedbot's robot builds
Added the mount for the receiver the most neat and tidy wires I ever had in a robot. Just need to add the battery and its holder then get a new servo down the line.

Re: Team Coolspeedbot's robot builds
Encountering a very odd and worrying bug with Killer-Wolf's drive the left motor stutters at times and isn't putting out the same power in reverse. not sure where to start looking for the solution.

Re: Team Coolspeedbot's robot builds
Ok re-alinged the left motor and put the temp battery in the middle of the robot seems the robot is driving better the stuttering might be a random issue, I think the ESC for the left motor might have been getting interference from resting against one of the motors, although I'll let the people more experienced with electronics in robots to correct me on that.
I also tested out Killer-Wolf's self-righting roll fins and they work (in none combat situations).
Hardware wise my balance charger arrived but I have to wait till Xmas before I can use it (and no I didn't peek at my presents).
Also thought I share the test/ play arena we will start to use for testing our robots on.

Re: Team Coolspeedbot's robot builds
Added a bolt to the front to help with supporting Killer-Wolf's flipper when it turns.

Re: Team Coolspeedbot's robot builds
While Killer-Wolf's work has slowed I took the time to start designing Bunny-Ears' upgrade.

Re: Team Coolspeedbot's robot builds
new drive motors, no more sharing the drive motors between two bots.
Fitted the lable/ logo to Killer-Wolf.

Re: Team Coolspeedbot's robot builds
Action:
Wired the new motors to the modified servo boards.
Result:
they didn't work.
Conclusion:
James is still bad at wiring, needs new servo boards to modify, failing that ask someone else to do it.
