Re: UK Kilobots - 1kg Combat Robots
Some good websites there. That calculator was handy, now I know ill deffinately be safe using the 5a sabertooth.
I only managed to get 2 pics of 2 of the arena floor panels, as soon as I got to work we set off to Worksop to fit a job, so just took pic of what was on the floor.
Re: UK Kilobots - 1kg Combat Robots
I may actually attempt this, I got an RC car (albeit squished in the house somewhere, and generally half-working :P ) and I might just take it apart and mess with it to see if I can put something together. :)
Re: UK Kilobots - 1kg Combat Robots
Ok, So when the arenas done how should it be painted/powder coated?
Im thinking black frame, grey floor, red or yellow inner walls. What you guys think?
Re: UK Kilobots - 1kg Combat Robots
Don't care what colour it is, but it would be useful to know what type of paint you are thinking of using on the floor. (my thoughts would be to leave it as plain steel)
Re: UK Kilobots - 1kg Combat Robots
Get some paint thats got a bit of grip to it on the floor :)
Re: UK Kilobots - 1kg Combat Robots
Not too grippy. XFM had a floor that ate tires like nothing else. I was driving on the bare rims in 3 fights.

I remember that floor Leo, as you say, murder on the tyres, :sad: but the grip was unreal!! :shock:
I recall Ed telling me it was grey textured masonary paint with a few handfuls of sharp sand mixed in.
Re: UK Kilobots - 1kg Combat Robots
Im thinking a polyurethane floor paint like robo challenge. Or just a steel primer.

Re: UK Kilobots - 1kg Combat Robots
So would you all prefer a polyurethane floor paint on the arena floor?
