Yeah, im just using friction drive, its most reliable. Drive wheel has a inner tube from a (motor)bike on it.

Awesome, thanks. And what did you use for the track itself? Is it rubber off a treadmill or something?
I've done some research into building home-made tracks but the tracks on your machines seem much simpler!

Been busy with school lately, but i found some of the clips where we had actual combat with the robots!

Miniroll is looking very effective, I wonder where you got the inspiration for it

Just watched your How to... video pt 3. Neat solution with micro switches!

Do you know what sort of current they can handle?

Hi, depends on the switches you get. I think that mine were rated at 10A, been using them for a long time, and havent had any problems.

Does anyone happen to know which material can take harder hits after vaccuum forming?
HDPE vs. makrolon/lexan
material thickness is about 1-2mm

I think that hdpe would be tougher?!
