Hi
I'm new to robot combat and i'm going to build an Antweight some time this year but i just wanted to ask a question
what is a speedcontroller and how does one work?
If anyone can answer these questions then i'd be grateful
Thanks

every robot needs a speed controller of some sort
they plug into the receiver.
they switch the voltage on and off really quickly to controlling speed.
when your transmitter stick is fully up and I is going as fast as it can it is allowing the full amounts of voltage to your motors.
I might be wrong with that but in brief they take current from the batteriesand control it through the motors.
I can explain better at home but I'm out in Bolton.
If you are using modified servos for drive then you don't need a speed controller, they just plug straight in to the receiver, in an antweight you only need them if you have drive motors and gearboxes. You also need one on a brushless motor if you've got one on your weapon
Thanks!
where can i get a speed controller from?

there
My thread has all the basics for building a antweight, feel free to messge me any quetsions and I will e happy to help
Ok, Thanks
same here feel free to ask me anything, you can add me on msn if you have it.
If you buy some motors do you have to put the wires in place or are they already setup to use and plug into the speed controller?
they will require wires soldered to them
edit, by some motors i asume you mean the polu micro metal gearmotors?
