Thanks for the replies but i will not be entering the dutch robot games, so to me it is irrelevant that there are dutch robots with a similar/same name to my robot.

Pity, as it doesn't matter that much what name the robot carries to participate in the Dutch/Belgian/German events, you would been welcome.
I was just refering to the fact you're not that original with names.

And Dutch robots do participate in UK events.

how about the burger king?
if it was shaped like a burger.

Hello all, over the weekend i started on the 'un-named antweight melty brain spinner' mentioned on my profile. It doesn't spin very fast and is not radio controlled. I will add a Polulu Baby Orangutan and Saturn 9gram receiver, as my transmitter is a 5-channel saturn one so that is the only receiver that it will bind with (i think). Could anyone suggest a way of putting pictures on a post, as the 'attach file' doesn't work.

Create an account at photobucket, upload photos there, copy the direct link. Them here in the forum, while making a post press the Img buttom. Place the link between [Img*] and [Img/*] (ignore the * just so the code doesn't dissapear) and you are all done.

Thanks for that, i will create an account soon. How is your robot going?

[Merkabah_PT]

It's going well, last electronic parts ordered.
But it's not a competitive one, just to occupy my time, learn and mess around.

Looking forward to see the next stages of your build, melty brain robots really melt my brain, pretty hi-tech stuff.

Thanks for that, it looks really good. I have sort of completed my antweight spinner, but i will make a new one as i was only using it for testing the 1 or 2 wheel argument so i don't have to test it on a featherweight. In other news, my beetleweight is very nearly done (i will be ordering the 10mm wide, 60mm tall Banebots wheels soon if all goes to plan), and i just need wheels, +/-250g sparkfun accerlerometer, and need to program it. The motors are controlled by an Arduino Uno and Arduino Motor Shield and i will program them in a variation of C. It uses the 9.6v NiMH rechargeable batteries from an old toy. They came with a charger, so it made sense to use them rather than spend a lot of cash on some new Lipos.

Shock mount that arduino really good, it doesn't like aggression.
