hey,
well i have had this robot for a little while now so i may as well put up its report
this is my first robot so don't be expecting anything fancy except for the awesome drum of death:P
Specs
Builder: Luke Sullivan
Driver: Luke Sullivan
Class: Featherweight(overweight hobbyweight)
Chassis/Armour: PC Case for main chassis but with 4mm steel arms
Weapon: 1kg drum spinning at approximately 2000 rpm
Weapon Controller: servo activated switch powering a jaycar 20,000rpm motor
Drive: tamiya gravel hound
Controller: teu101-bk powering a stock 540j
Batteries: 2 x 7.2v 3000MaH NiMh batteries(1 4 weapon,1 4 drive)
Time to build: bout 5 days
Looks pretty good. Hope i have my bot completed before next event and we can grudge match the two newcomers.
Im guessing because of ur shotty TEU101-bk speed controller ur only using johnson 540's as motors? And what radio/reciever are you using, because as far as i know most RC transmitters wont work due to interferance.
Thanks, Chris

yeah, i cant fit in any other motor without using my good 10td motor (my precious) which i dont have a controller 4 coz the last one caught on fire!
im plannin on upgrading 2 drill drives sometime
i didnt buy any new radio systems so i was reusing my sanwa 2ch AM 27.255Mhz and my futaba 2ch FM 29.905Mhz
i am currently on the hunt for a better radio and i have narrowed myself down 2 either a hobbycity 2.4Ghz radio or one spokie-tech is offering 2 me

Yeah i once had a Novak Super Rooster with 7t motor in my Traxxas Bandit. But a full sized 4WD is much stronger then my plastic chassis ever was...
My robots name is currently Rambo-T,
early photos
thats with the wood as the base for measurements, but now its got checker plate for both sides and 4motors in total.
For radios, im planning on getting a HobbyCity one, but thats purely because neither my brother nor me have any money, and its cheap and works

Another test vid. Bent my shaft which is a pain in the @**, but atleast it lifted up 13kg
I got a good hit on a herd drive sending it into my garage, flattening a part of the wall
I will get proper pics up eventually but im on the wrong pc too do it now.
enjoy! _________________ http://au.youtube.com/user/crustydemonsully
