Re: Antweight World Series 51 - Peasedown St. John, 29th October 2016
Thanks to Harry for organising. Looking forward to the video - I appreciate your effort on these. We had fun - won more fights than previously (often due to a Team Termite failure though :lol: ) It was good to chat to folks again, esp. as we won't be there for 12th Nov. I'll be making (remaking!) im...

Re: UserFriendly Build Diary
New Robot: Triant After my youngest came to me with some sketches of a new robot, I had to have a go at designing them. He came up with this idea for a triangle with wheels, that could drive in any orientation, so I designed this: http://i.imgur.com/jaW9LqS.jpg Unfortunately, after some disasters o...

Re: Part recommendation
Hmm, I think so, but I'm a little sketchy on the use of BECs. That ESC has a built in BEC, and the NanoTwo has one. I think if you connect it to the same battery, you need to cut the red wire on the servo wire, so the two BECs don't have to try and supply the same wire. Perhaps someone else here can...

Re: Part recommendation
I'll defer to others with more experience, but you've not got enough wires on the ESC. The motor has 3 wires, and the ESC has power (black and red) and signal wires (3) - the picture on the hobby king site shows the ESC having 9 wires, so maybe there's a spare ground. Sorry for vagueness, someone wi...
Re: AWS 51
I'm looking forward to your new creation - I loved the lifting bot before (https://youtu.be/5n-6cuIlm6g?t=1h26m48s). I quite like seeing innovative designs.AntRoboteer wrote:Any update on the venue? It getting near and I'm wondering whether to risk everything and start a completely new one or not.
