Haynes Manual Build a Robot

[Roboteernat]

Hey, glad your going to be getting underway wth the robot again.

Comet, a FW robot uses the argos battery to power the robot. Is a good starting point, considering you would have 2 batteries from the 2 drills already. But it isnt ideal for powering a weapon too.
I use a 2.65 4s lipo on my bot, and that uses about 40% a match and thats with an electric axe. I also have a 4s 3.3a battery, but this is an additional 100g.

Regarding the drive, the Botbitz 80 amp esc are good and very reliable. Comet uses the 30amop ones if i recall - thats not my bot so just remembering.

Alternatively you can reprogram your own esc simply using a usb programmer and a particular brushless esc, so you could do it half price, i will update this post with esc info when i fInd it.

William Cadwallader has some nice build videos of his robot too, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBQ...Y8ygoeZ9dlWxDA
