Hello! Been watching youtube (RogueTwo Robots mostly) obsessively and have been dead impressed with a pile of robots. I've managed to find most of the build threads but at the minute I can't find anything on Little Hitter. Does anyone know if he/she has a build thread, pictures of inside, specs ie motors/drive train as that thing is mental! Any help appreciated

Most detail I can give is diagonal drive motors from 20v (I believe) drills and an 80mm bore ram for that axe with full Ti armour, though I may well be wrong
Little Hitter doesn't have a build thread because it was built waaaay before we had that section of the forum.
Pity you never tried the roguetwo Photobucket:

Thanks! How come the motors are at opposite corners?
They are diagonal as it helps keep the robot in a straight line when going forward. It is slightly more difficult for the robot to turn on the spot however it makes little difference to the motors.
Some robots would benefit from such a setup rather than relying on gyros etc
BitzaWood has drive like that just to help make the robot less wide, otherwise you robot has to be as wide as two 550 motors, gearboxes and wheels.
