more radio bug finding blogging

fresh blog
some more scientific type results
trying to sheild the antenna etc
quite pleased with the method
not so much with the results.

go some ideas on the next step, perhaps another update tonight

also i think i opened up comments on that site
give it a burl if your feeling energetic lol

new updates
simpleish ibc mod
doubled radio range (with smaller antenna)

now we are limited only by motor noise

what ever will i do
mmm blogishness update
planz.blogspot.com

there seems to be some interest in these FET controllers for interfacing with the IBC's
check the marketplace for a thread on it and i'll see what the demand is
also i'll have a look at putting togther a group buy on batteries anybody have some ideas on sources and the like?

Jason recently bought some Sanyo's (as used in BattlePacks) from Master Instruments.. I'd be interested in some 3000, 3300 or 3600's if the bulk price is significantly cheaper.

hmmm
any suggestions for what to do with 1.5kg?
we dont madly want to redesign the whole bot.

Plan-B is currently legal at 12kg

thats an easy one.

just whack a 1.5kg more into the weapon or a wedge, wedges are good

Makeing the weapon heavier would be the best thing

One suggestion is paint that fibre glass shell.It dose look a little plain.
Another suggestion is put some spiks comeing out of the shell all around the bot.
