HardWired - Upgrades and general build diary

[Flag Captured]

You know when you think of something slightly too optimistic for your design?

Well, I'm thinking of having both a spinner and a lifter on HardWired II as interchangeable weaponry, along with a set of interchangeable wheels (and side panels) so that the spinner can be invertible, and the lifter can have smaller, grippier wheels or something. Still designing the thing, but it's a thought that just randomly popped into my head, and I'd like to try something a little bit different like that.

I know the current designs are how they are for a reason (i.e. they work) but I'd like to see what I could get away with doing with this one. I'm going to focus mainly on the spinner at first, and then the lifter as a side thing, mainly because I love spinners and now that I have a (admittedly vague) knowledge of brushless motors and a basic setup lined up, it's too good an opportunity to pass up. Sad thing is that it takes up nearly £70 of my £100 budget, so I'm going to have to get really creative from now on. May just re-use some of the motors from HardWired I for now, but those speed controllers will be a pain to get with that price remaining, and I think I'll have to manufacture a couple of wheels myself now for what it's worth!

EDIT: That was a bad idea. Going for the spinner only, because it's far too much messing about to get a lifter in there too. Nice idea, but very impractical I would guess. Something for the future though.
