You would have to invest in a mixer in order to give you full control on one stick unless you spend a few more bucks on the TX and get one with built in mixing

Hey Kevin. You dont necessarily have to have a completely flush wedge to be able to get under other robots. I went for a similar idea to yours on my first bot and made the wedge completely flat against the arena floor. After I had seen the other competitors I realised that the majority of them actually have a fair bit of ground clearance so most wedges could get under them even if they dont graze the floor.

And with arena surfaces sometimes being uneven, it might be best not to have a super flat edge.

Regards
Lenny

If you have a flat piece of metal coming out from your wedge so that that can go under your opponents then you will be more effective. What I am clumsily trying to say is the front can be like the front of Bigger Brothers flipper.
