never seen 16.8v drills before

[RogueTwoRobots]

Yeah I hadnt either until I bought fourteen off eBay - they were from hammer drills and I just swapped them and the gearing (which is faster than conventional cordless drills) into standard gearbox housings, because the hammer drills come with a removable shaft which has no easy way of locking in (not handy having a shaft fall out during a fight!)

Ok, the next addition to Team Torque is now firmly on the drawing board... 'Biting Torque'... A featherweight version of Team Whyachi's 'Y-Pout' a full body translational spinner! ( http://www.teamwhyachi.com/ypout.htm )
Technical details to follow shortly.

How're you steering it, a cam mechanism and variable angle wheels, or electronic controls?

[geoff]

Would love to do a cam mechanism for it, in fact I would prefer to use Terry's original 'Nav-Bot' system. ( http://www.teamwhyachi.com/misc/NavBot.pdf ) But with only 13.6Kg to play with I fear I may have to go the electronic route.
