I actually started this awhile ago, so it's a bit late.

I'll post photos as soon as I get my camera working again

Given that there are several robot's out there with the ability to flip and the fact that on more than one occation I've been almost flipped by robots with no apparent flipping ability (I have seen other robots actually flipped) I would suggest that being able to self right or drive upside down is critical.

If you are looking for a simple method of doing this take a look at vincent, basically the drive wheels can penetrate the wedge.

Der Elshauno! I mean seriously. There r sooooo many flippers out there of couse u should b able to rerite!

Yeah I know, I just wanted a poll.

O.k, so question:

Could a car door actuator be run by a 9.6v NiCad drill batter?

yep.
It won't have full power, but will still be ok.

ok here's a nooby question. Wot's a car door actuator?

I read it as being the actuator for the central locking.
They're usuall a small motor with a rack and pinion syle gear setup on them.

They're pretty light and have a decent amount of power.

just about, mines 2-2.5
Not much, but it does it lightning quick and with alot of power (holding firmly on it wont stall it)

On to the next subject;

I was thinking, maybe I should a a toothed flywheel onto the back, and make the front the back if oyu get me.

Any thought's?

P.S: Thanks1

Yeah that sounds cool but i don't really get what the flywheel would do
