Speed controllers

What do you want to do with those 8 motors?

The list of robots Mario, Rick, and I have you can find on http://www.team-rcc.orghttp://www.team-rcc.org

create a fast and powerful robot of course

In that case Id get a couple of magmotors, 2 s28-400s, thats way more power than those NPC NPC-02246 motors could produce for way less weight. More motors just overcomplicate things, and Keep it Simple is still the best policy in Robot Combat.

Where are you from Ben? US, UK?

uk and im not made of money

The difference is 142 dollars, less even if you count shipping costs since 16kg for 8 motors will cost more to ship than 2 mags for 6,5kg.

not made of money??????

Ben i am sure it will cost you more money to buy 8 speed 900 motors, add gears, mountings, all the gear you need basically for a good drive train with 8 wheels. i assume you are doing a wheel on each motor. the advice given is good advice. try and be thankful with the advice given they are roboteers and know what they are talking about.

Im beginning to wish i never asked

There is no harm in asking. But you are being very dismissive over some good advice given to you with your best interest in mind. Particularly Woodys advice is one I wouldnt ignore off hand like that.

ok but i think npc 02446s will be fine

have you built a combat robot before Ben?

are you going to have a weapon or are you thinking about making a robot in the storm/tornado style? i know storm has a weapon but imo there power and speed is there weapon.

also be prepared to get damage which will take up alot of your time and money, its cost £1000s over the years but the main thing is time fixing the things.

im not trying to put you off though, we love having new robots coming on to the scene! :)
