Re: ESC questions & why not USA shipping
The T16 looks like a good option, I've got the smaller T8sg which seems nice so far. Having the option of multiple protocols on one tx is great.

Re: Antweight Rules Proposal
You do definitely need a way to release your opponent, you can only hold for 20s, so if you couldn't get them in the pit you'd be in trouble.

Re: Antweight Rules Proposal
Shakey's pretty much covered it, but I'll add my thoughts. Yes, the grabber wins in this situation. You seem to be suggesting that this is an unfairly easy way for a grabber to win, but the fact is it's really hard to grab and control an opponent like that. You pretty much need a grab+lift type robo...

Re: ESC questions & why not USA shipping
If you're looking for an antweight esc in the USA, I'd suggest either the Endbots DESC, or a pair of the fingertech tinyESC's. The DESC is functionally the same as the nanotwo's, they come in two versions, one with the receiver built in (like the nanotwo v2/v3) and one without (like the nanotwo LT)....

Re: What is a team?
That was on the battlebots subreddit, there's not a lot of antweight stuff on there, but I was showing off RBMK after winning AWS58.

Re: What is a team?
Thank you! That's really clear now. Your bots are really awesome. The one with the two spinners looks like a Vertabird from Fallout 1 or Fallout 2! I love it! Does it move based on the vibration of the motors spinning if you throttle one up more than the other? I saw a 3lb bot here in the states wh...

Re: What is a team?
So if I'm reading this right, for example whoever owns wedge wedge wedge must own all the cluster bots and all the transmitters for them, correct? Those are all considered "team" property, so you can't just make one 75g and a friend have a 75g bot and call that a cluster bot on tournament...

Re: Little help requested with a new bot - receiver, material sourcing etc. thanks.
Afraid you're not quite right there Eddie, PWM (not PPM) is the one you want.
PPM is similar to sbus in that it is a single wire for the signals.
PWM is the one that you're thinking of where each channel has its own signal wire.
As for titanium, I've always had good luck with ebay.

Re: AWS'60 Results Analysis
I'm not sure stats are ever going to answer your question, there are simply too many other variables. In particular, how well the robot is designed and built, and how well driven it is, are both much more important than the type of machine. That said, I do think some designs are more competitive tha...
