HardWired II

[Flag Captured]

Very! I believe it was ranked 3rd in the 2012 Combots cup after only ever competing at Robogames before or something? It really does hit hard that one! I believe a lot of it is in the bar design, it's a weird kind of single tooth, quite different from this one though I hope they perform similarly!

Thanks, I never thought of that! I'd have just assumed they'd kick out more torque to deal with it! Still pretty new to motors as a whole haha
It might be that I either go for a split battery (5s and a 6s) or see how it goes without magnets after it's built. It can run inverted so if it does lift it can get back over... just don't want it to be near enough uncontrollable! They are the 18v ones too, I've been having a look to see if there's the equivalent motor in 24v but don't seem to be having much luck.

I think magnet-less could work too but may need simply to get good at driving it... I might leave at least a little bit of magnet downforce in there to reduce the likeliness of it lifting, but perhaps nothing as substantial as it was. Like I said earlier, it might end up being a trial and error sort of thing, see how it copes with everything. Might be worth trialing a set of Banebots drives on 6s to see how it copes in that sense, I know if they stall at that voltage, I can say goodbye to my speed controllers haha!
