so it got to this stage with abit of trimming, worked for about 30 seconds before this, but as you can see after that short drive around, I stopped to show the lifting arm working, but since then I’ve had 0 drive :/ changed the battery just to test but no movement at all now, but the lifting arm is working fine! :/
thanks Retroman!looking forward to seeing Pullover!

She is, by far, the better built of the 2, but anymore than a glance shows her up, not a pretty girl and pretty wild with a full charge...
Ok, lets start simple, the battery is ok because the LED stayed on, and you swapped anyway... The motors themselves should be ok, 3 don't burn out at exactly the same moment... Has the arm touched/knocked/pinched anything inside? Has anything rattled loose? What ESC are you running?
It's a shame, looked like it was moving well, seem pretty controllable too, I know the feeling, I was soldering (again) at 01:00 this morning...

Yeah the 30 seconds I was driving it was great! Months of planning and building and then “that’s it I’ve had enough of being a robot I’m going back to being abit it metal in a box†hahaha
the motors can turn, so nothing jamming them, nothing I can see is loose, it’s a das Mikro with a lemon receiver.
The wires are abit free if im honest, and most are under the arm, but I can’t see anything that has come away from
the motors, even if one did get broken off the other 2 would still work though right?
I’ve managed to get my second bot moving (it’s the slowest thing ive ever seen in my life but it moves and goes where I want it too atleast)
Atleast the controller side of things has had a step in the right direction today!

We can chalk atleast 1 point then, I have a Dasmikro in the scrapbot, I had a nightmare last night/this morning after a pad came off the board.it’s a das Mikro with a lemon receiver

Looking at it logically, The RX is working, the batteries are working, it's slowly pointing a bony finger at the ESC I'm afraid (disclaimer: not an expert), how long have you had the dasmikro? I'm sure I read on robotwars101 that there seemed to be a bad batch floating about and more than a few were getting cooked. I have, or will have, a couple of single channel ESC's in my toolbox for an emergency (had one or two myself lately), it will run... Or I'll tell it's mum...
Pullover being 'fast' and twitchy is it's biggest weakness... I'm rubbish...
