The Unnamed (FW)

[Rapidrory]

I recently fixed a TZ for someone where the main inductor for the BEC had come off the board due to excessive forces; TZs are designed for planes not fighting. My thought to battle harden them would just be to cover the signal side of the board with hot glue to keep everything in place and keep swarf out... But a separate BEC might not be a bad idea. Not using it for anything other than the RX so linear regulator putting out 0.5A @ 5v would be plenty enough...

Also, I use Lemons in all my robots from nanoweights to my Heavyweight and have never had one die in a robot (had a few dead from the factory and another few die whilst soldering them up, but I've bought over 50 so far so it's actually a fairly low failure rate... at ~£3 each it's not a huge issue)
