a bit of a naggy question

Post by botomatic1000 »

im looking to maybe build an antweight wedge similar to the original model of battlebots competitor the crusher (heres a photo) http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/bat ... 1216200858 . im looking what to get and possibly a tutorial on how to build one under 100 quid. my biggest worries are price complications the rc guff motor mounts and what to buy. A list of parts would be handy but I feel its naggy.
thanks for any responses and contributions :lol: . p.s im gonna call it a weird name pepsi man

It's not that hard, I'm 14 and inept and I've managed in less than £100 if you go via Rory (£42)you can get all electronics done and all you have to do is buy the battery(£5)and the transmitter(£15-30) for a pusher without a flip and if you want a flipper you will have to solder a servo(£5). Making the body is a simple as glue and plastic and screws, I think most people are fine with 2mm which can be cut fairly easily.

I do have a transmitter and receiver I can use off of an older robot and possibly its batteries

If you already have a transmitter and receiver you can certainly build an antweight for well under £100.

As Alex has said in the other thread, Rory's kit does most of the complicated wiring for you (assuming your transmitter is compatible with the receivers in the kit).

do you have a link to the transmitter? rory's stuff runs on 2.4Ghz but it has to be dsm2 compatible I believe

It's not a DSM2 compatible transmitter.
