Re: Hobbyking
I would really hope it's cock-up rather than conspiracy (to do fraud). I expect it to get sorted eventually, HK do try to be a good retailer in my experience (I've ordered a few times) --- The difficulty with smaller retailers stocking / shipping lipos is the rules concerning safe storage and transp...

Re: Hobbyking
I would definitely chase it up, the items weren't on "back order" were they?
I've never had them take more than a few days really. I try to only order stocked items.

Re: T_Y's Build Log
The mecanum wheel robot is amazing.
Getting a 4wd + mecanum + active weapon in 150g is a good effort. I hope it does well.

Re: Crusher, why not?
I think it's yes - related to physics, but also the more mundane - availability of parts. The hydraulics which some heavies use, are somewhat tricky in Antweight. The only way I can see it is to use bicycle hydraulic brake parts, but those are very specialised. Ideally you'd need some way of getting...

Re: Team S-R build's
jray, that looks amazing.
How is the opposite side of that weapon supported? Is it a dead shaft or live? Is there a bearing in there somehow?
It spins nicely though whatever it is.

Re: TeamScrewUps poopoo bots
At 13cm it might be ok depending on what the other dimensions are and the exact shape, I suggest you build a cube to check.
TPU is great armour if it's thick enough because stuff just bounces off. Good work.

Re: Thinking about a one off competition.
Yeh the £6 iron will probably get hot, but I wouldn't want to use it much. Get one with a stand and some amount of control. You will also need some solder and a few other bits, I'd recommend solder wick (for getting off excessive solder) and some flux. Something to clean the iron tip (sponge thing o...

Re: ESC with built-in receiver - interesting?
Oh yes - one more thing - the servo pulses outputs (for brushless too) - won't activate when in config mode. So all you have to do is drive the robot (very slightly) and you should be able to start the spinner (also do any arming procedure required by your esc). When you turn the tx off, it will sto...

Re: ESC with built-in receiver - interesting?
Hi, The weapon2 channel (you probably want to use that) is channel4 by default on most of the boards I've made. That means usually the left-hand stick left/right for the weapon speed, which is not ideal. You can swap them with the 8-pulses config command (see the doc) and then the brushless weapon w...
