    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.

    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...
