True, but Im not building the robot for a while.
I think I will buy two of those modular drive things, instead of the whole robot.
Thats probably a good idea! Those battlekits look far superior in everyway!
It may be worth your while checking out the Robo Challenge Robo Kits. They are very light so that you can add more armour or active weaponry, and they are still powerfull enough to push other feathers around easily enough with its drill motors. I dont think the Robo Kits are on the website yet, but if you e-mail James at James@robochallenge.co.uk he will send you pics and info.
Where are the Robo Challenge Robo Kits?
In Birmingham England, but with the size and weight, shipping will be cheap i expect. Check out http://www.robochallenge.co.ukwww.robochallenge.co.uk , if you wants a variation on the kits that will be easily available.
Can anyone else support Grants claim that his bots survived multiple 3 metre flips and keep on working at the Cambridge XFM event?
Well little flipper is very decent - but even that wouldnt get a 12kg bot three meters in the air. The 6kg kits survived being tossed in the air a load of times though.
Yes I remember the 6Kg ones going up very high and still able to run afterwards
if i go to http://www.robochallenge.co.ukwww.robochallenge.co.uk, i get the http://easily.co.uk/http://easily.co.uk/ website instead.
Some of the 6kg kits were getting flipped across the arena by Firestorm at one of the events I attended (one little one in particular kept going back for more) and still survived to continue the battle. The only time they seemed to stop was when the external power switches were hit to the off position - so they should stand up pretty well.
Leo - Im having the same problem atm, but in my Favourites folder the URL is saved as http://www.priorycastor.co.uk/web2/page1.htm - that should work temporarily.
