Hi Craig & all,

Thank you all for welcoming me to the forum.

I have no expectations of winning a fight, so I could beef-up my bot and take it into a featherweight contest. The twin motor / gearbox set are Gimson GR01's with 14.4V RS550 motors. Some consider these to be over the top for a 12lb bot and are more suited to the featherweight class. I could also add a weapon as I have enough space in the chassis

The ESC is a Sabertooth RC 2x25A with a 13.2V 2.4A/hr NICAD battery pack. I have kept the voltage at around the nominal motor rating as I have built my own ESC's for other applications and know how easy it is to smoke them when over-volting drill type motors.

My wheels are 124mm banebot type and I have the choice of both green and blue tyres.

Any advice would be welcomed.

Hoppy
