Yep, ive had that old Xbox since 2004 and its still going strong

ye, its very large for a feather and looks in a complete mess, but i think lian will be able to get it running again.

the cable ties were from today when we tryed to do a system check for the parts for my new bot and it didnt work

something was up in the system that we just couldnt find. what ill probably do is dis-connect everything and re-solder it all back together properly

What sort of size is it? Doesn't look insanely big or anything. I always just use terminal blocks to test things rather than soldering it, just so you can disconnect it all more easily if its not going as planned.

the main shell is 43cm x 43cm x 10cm with the addition of the wedge

next weekend you will see it with a new 3mm stell scoop and 2cm steel sided all bolted on and it might be able to take a few hits from spinner

but the steel would only be mounted on 3mm polycarb, but eventually will be fully welded together and after that will be a full metal shell

Cicatrix is 44cm x 41cm x 10cm with the pusher pod on so not a massive difference. Its well within the weight limit too, looking to add some weight before Edinburgh, so could just stash the old Daiske inside the front pod

.

Sounds like some good improvements, will be interesting it in action.

its only a basic ram bot, but do ya think you could run 2 drill motors off some 30a esc's?

Probably, At the champs I ran the drills off 2 15A Electronize and a Scorpion XL which I think is 12.5A per channel, and they didn't blow (well, not because of the motors anyway...) so I would guess they would be ok.
