Ok, so the August event in Adelaide was great. Flying with bots was new, but luckily PH fit nicely in the suitcase...

Ok getting started on the minibot. Panhead?
Pretty simple, using an XU1 angle grinder, as it's the cheapest grinder skin in Australia - $45 at bunbuns. Two drill motors and some red wheels. Hold it ... |

Forum is a little dead, but the group chat is not a place for long posts...might have to start a youtube channel

Do those ESC's handle 6-cell? You may have overloaded the BEC on the ESC that powers the RX.
I think the 30A would have been too small for that scooter motor anyway, that 250W is continuous - they ... |

Hot tip: Aldi's got big thick chopping boards (probably polypropylene) for ten dollarydoos at the moment. |

Battle of Southbank,
Done some last minute work before this event. Pot Head was going to be underweight so I was thinking of doing a mini bot for him but wasn't sure if I'd have a driver for it. Th ... |

I've had a weapon idea playing around in my head that would consist of a grinding disc with a ferrocerium rod feeding into it. Have this in some sort of dragon or unicorn head so that it vomits firey ... |

Trying to answer what I can in order.
The ant-weight starter kit is a really good start for motors and ESC's - I wouldn't worry about the nanotwos. If you want to go real cheap and nasty there are ... |

Yeah moving the center of gravity with some extra steel is a nice reliable low tech option if it'll fit in the design.

Yeah my 4 motor drive bot would pull over 100A at peak, XT60's handle it fine. Just don't use low quality cables - I used 12G cable from supercheap and melted the wires before the connectors! 12G hobb ... |

Before I started building I always wanted to build a spear bot, but it comes out more complex than you'd think and I don't think there's ever been a successful spear bot - it's too hard to put enough ... |

Getting ready for the IRDC Fight - minor repairs/upgrades on Hellamax and a complete strip and rebuild for Pot Head.
