Ni cads

Kody, the ruggedized Bosches, like Technobots sells them are just the best power/weight to pricetag ratio.

Thats the main reason so many people use them.
To go for a stronger motor ,like the Mag will increase the total pricetag enormously.As you need stronger speedos, and more batterypower.

In other words, it all depends on budget.

At the moment I still use SLA batteries, and not even the most expensive ones either, because I do not need to buy the more expensive NiCD batteries and matched chargers for them.

Ok thanks. :)

Im starting to putup some blue prints of Wedginator, but I need to install AutoCAD first.

pah CAD, hand me a beer, crayon and a napkin and i can design a machine :)

SolidWorks all the way!

Rhino 3D gets my bots built.

Gary, I do work with exact the same tools as you to develope my machines.

its the only way eh?

I prefer to design on a beermat or a fag packet. If you use a larger medium, the design gets too difficult.

Woot :proud:

Anyway, I might try to install SolidWorks. Is it downloadable or do you have to buy it?
