Re: Peter Wallers Robot Ramblings

I don't think that the servo port on an esc can be used to drive a brushless motor as the signals sent to brushless motors are different to the kind used for brushed motors and servos. As far as I understand, servos and brushed motors receive the signal as a constant stream of information, whereas b...

High load electronics.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could let me know of a battery (preferably a LiPo) that would be able to cope with 6 pololu HP micro gear motors without exploding and a single output speed controller that can manage 4 of these motors or more.

Although it may be slightly off topic, I would suggest that when competing against spinners that having a defensive stance will not work in your favour. Attack from where and when possible, doing so will possibly mean that you could prevent the disk from spinning up to full speed with enough luck/sk...

Baby-O speed controllers

I've bought some Baby-O esc from Pololu to replace the Sabretooth in my robot's setup, however I am uncertain about a couple of things.
