[BW] GR-01 Build Diary

[Giles]

Thanks for the replies guys! GR-01 not a good name? Damnit! Using my initials was my "I cant think of a good name" cop-out.

I've been tinkering with some more layouts in CAD. I'm quite liking this design with little corner wedges attached. Is it a bad idea to run the robot on "skis" like this? I'm planning to use the 50mm Shockbot wheels that have been linked above, wondering if I have too little ground clearance with this design? I'm also wondering if 4WD with small timing belts would be a nice idea instead of 2WD. I was hoping to keep this build rather simple, but 4WD doesn't seem too much of a hurdle.

In regards to the weapon motor, I have previously been told its not so powerful in one of my previous threads. I intend to use it for now, as I have it already, but design with enough space to upgrade the ESC/Motor in the future once I'm happy with the rest of the robot.
