Aww yeah!! Can we have a video of a full running test perhaps? It looks so cool.

something like this?



It is hard to film and drive at the same time but you will get an idea of the robot.

What do you actually need, thus running Turnigy ESC forward and backward, I do not understand but are actually normal flight controller?

He flashed another firmware onto them. I assume he is using simonk (blheli would be possible too). Those firmwares are actually meant for 3d-flying with quadcopters.

@Dirk

Die deutsche Seite habe ich auch schon gefunden, die ist dann wieder gut für mich wenn ich Backups des Controllers machen möchte, schön und einfach alles in deutsch erklärt, aber wie beschrieben Bestellen bei enertionboards die sind um einiges Günstiger, beim gleichen Aufbau!

Omega did a really great job on the robochallange 2016, we knocked out in the quarter final.
We didn't have any damage on the shell, there are still some things to tweak on the drive train especially on the bearing that keep the axis in place. Right now we are already working on a new machine for next year this time with active weapon of course.

Since we now have a new bigger mill the old bf25 isn't in use any more. So we decided to convert that one to cnc. Our current cnc router works well but doesn't have a nice finish, The Z axis is also very low witch makes it only usable for cutting thin plates of alu.

The y axis is almost done right now working on the Z axis.
Here are a few pictures of the conversion of the bf25:
