Managed to have thursday evening to my self to wire it up

Not terribly exciting news but surprisingly time consuming. And now I finally get to test drive it....yeeey
This is how it runs in a tight empty part of my front room with half a charged pack. I hope to at some point go to my local gym and really open up the throttle in a sports hall. Apologies as I got my half asleep fiance to film it before bed and the framing is a bit off.



Wiring isnt as tidy placement wise as I had hoped but no open terminals, no weak spots and thick gauged wire to supply the current to the beefy motors. Have three untouched cables (12volt out for weapon, 24volt LED and ground).

Weekend to do list:


  • Fit weapon motor and shaft
  • Fit prong shaft
  • Fit worm gears
  • Wire up motor controller
  • Create mount for RX and motor controller
  • Weight reduce everything as much as possible
  • Check weight and calculate how much I have left for the armour


I also found my flickr account and my WIP of Trojan 1 and Trojan 1v2
Shame as It looked ok but I was so careless with the weight that as dave said I had to cut so many holes that the robot was essentially useless.
