FW Electric hammer - Robo Challenge (no name yet)

I have started too look at Killer Joule again now so that I can get it fully working and reliable for the World Championships in April. There's quite alot I haven't updated on here such as the drive units etc so I will get some pics up shortly.

The biggest thing I need to test is the custom ESC. We had to build a 200A dual direction ESC for it a few days before the champs which had a couple of bugs causing it not to fire at times and stuck at full power in reverse. It may be due to the wires between the main control side of the board and the FETs passing directly under the main motor. Hopefully have that sorted ready for a test this weekend at RL's small show at the NEC.

How did you get on with competing? Is there any footage?
