Hmmm, I think about it, servo wise, I was thinking http://www.hobbyking.co.uk/hobbyking/store/RC_PRODUCT_SEARCH.asp?searchType=10&strSearch=Servo&location=AL&idCategory=&sortBy=Relevant&NumPerPage=20&currentPage=2 OR http://www.hobbyking.co.uk/hobbyking/store/__64288__BMS_22H...

Hey guys, I have decided on buliding a wedge flipper, which is more effective? A front hinged (firestorm esque ) or back hinged (literally ever other flipper ever). Thanks

Yeah, tomorrow i'll take a bunch of A4 sheets and start toying with ideas, and if i like one Ill start doing it in Sketchup, i think my next robot ill go for a spinner, I'll take this one as a learner

Cool

I found a brushless outrunner with esc inbuilt at hobby King for 16 pounds, but you're right I forgot about the disc, how is My Friendly Uncle doing?

Hi guys, I've been thinking, and I think that building a spinner\flipper would be more fun, and possibly more effective, and I've done the math and it could even be cheaper than a 4WD pusher, would this OK?

Dammit! lol, i'll find a name eventally
EDIT: calling it Propellant, not taken, has ant in it,sounds positive, ticks all boxes...

Having picked the parts and chassis/armour (kind of) I am now entering the design phase, so if anyone can recommend any designs for a 4WD pusher that be awesome

On a unrelated note, I've already thought of a name
Assailant
Its probably gonna end up being called that, but my mind may change ,

Awesome Peter , did it increase the weight compared to your boxy polycarb scoops? i might get my scoops 3D printed out of ABS (curtsey of Shakeys 3D printing service) for Propellant, but it depends

Yeah, I'm just gonna go with 1.5mm polycarb, simple, cheap, effective.
