It already is a dangerous robot, to the walls at least!
lol need more driving practice but it can drive in a straight line
bit of an update
i'm looking at building a tracked fw invertable ram bot
detention
220mm long
250mm wide
65mm high
i have the tracks/motors and some gears, the motors are capable of 20000rpm at 9.6v and 10000 at max power and i intend to run them at 14.4v (2x 7.2v 3800mah or 5000mah)
i've been doing some estimations and i think i can make it do between 10 and 15mph through a 10-1 gear ratio and i think i might be able to get away with 8mm mild steel armour
still have the other 2 to finish but have got most of the material marked out and ready to be cut and welded ........ but i also have plans and ideas for a axe, flipper and spinner lol to many ideas not enough time or money
where did you get the tracks? can you shove up a picture of them?
