Rigid Robotics Build Diary - Flat Damon

[lowndsy]

Bit of progress, Flat Damon is now a rolling chassis and I am halfway through cutting up countless strips of PP for the bracing. I also found a huge sheet of plastic that would be perfect for one of the armour layers, but it is cable tied to the side of my building advertising some new flats.

I need to start thinking about speed controllers to get Flat Damon actually moving. I had my eye on a dual controller on amazon that looked perfect, but delivery would have taken ages and I'd have expected more people to be using them if they were that good.

The obvious solution would have been a couple of BotBitz 30As off Ranglebox but they're out of stock. Anyone got any suggestions? Still on a budget so I can't drop £150 on escs just yet. I'll go with NIMH on the batteries for now to avoid, erm, explosions.
