Hi everyone!

I'm building my first robot. Now it's not being built or designed with thought of actually fighting; I just want to build one for a bit of fun driving around my house etc. If it goes well then I may build another with the idea of fighting with it.

It's going to be a 2wd wedge lifter. I have got some motors already I found at my work (http://uk.farnell.com/maxon-motor/21...rpm/dp/1761260) and just need some guidance- recommendations for other parts.

I don't want to mess around with LiPo's as there's no need seen as I'm not actually fighting with it - what other batteries are viable?

I need help deciding on what ESC, servos for lifter, transmitter and batteries. Something that is suitable for what I'm doing for also has potential should I want to use them in a proper fighting bot!

I'm basing the lifter mechanism on this robot here with 2 servos, apart from my wedge is angled and not curved.



Any help or advice will be great!

Thanks
