cheap speed controller

[lewisantweight]

i am starting a new project and would like either a scorpion XL or a sabertooth 12v or 5 amp speed controller quite cheap as i have a low budget.

[psycho_fling]

a scorpion xl and a simple cheap 5amp controller are at 2 ends of the scale in terms of spec, performance and price....what are you building?

a featherweight. driller

bad design, drills arent good weapons

[lewisantweight]

i got a really high quality motor to power it plus a strong material to make it out of.

[psycho_fling]

i would personally avoid using a drill as a weapon......just have a think about the process of drilling a hole

holding the materail (clamping) is key otherwise the material will move and the drill wont make a hole

your target materail will often be moving, sloped and quite often these days hardox which drilling normally is very hard

if you want a damage bot make a crusher or axe bot can be done simple but very fun and effective

i am stuck as to what to make then as this is my first project and i am new to this stuff.

[harry hills]

do like a rammer or basic electric lifter

[lewisantweight]

which one inflicts more damage?

[harry hills]
