botbitz 85a with drill motors and drill batterys in a 12v 2amp pack.
I can get some sort of LED powerlight on it.
Fine, the Botbitz speedo will do the failsafing.
Wheels have been ordered for a bit and Im still waiting on arival.
If that's Robochallenge and it's been more than three weeks, email them a reminder & mention Deeside. Good lads that have a habit of missing orders.
What else will I need to pass a tech check?

also will the Giant Cod/Shark tx and rx be legal on a spinner ant? (I guess not)
and will the TX work with a different RX that wil failsafe.
I don't believe that there is a failsafing RX for giant cod.

Spinner ants will need a failsafe on the spinner channel at least. Since the throttle traditionally stays as running, I'd recommend putting a failsafing speed controller on the throttle channel to power the spinner.

Everybody was less picky abou Napalm Death's drive going around in a small slow circle. There may be a bit of give there
