it sounds like the speed controllers are the fiddely bits to set up. ill probly just have to buy some and build it up, then have a fiddle about. i have had loads of RC things in the past but none that i have had to set up speedos really.

ill probly just go for drill motors then, the 44W motors that i already have are quite chunky as well which probly isnt good for a small robot.

Electronize controllers seem to be the forerunners at the moment for my simple first bot

i didnt relise there was anyone near me building robots. that would be great if they could show me anything, or give any advice. ive been looking at the events that are happening soon but none of them seem to be under 5 hours away from here was there an event in Newcastle last year?? that would have been perfect for me to get some info.
