I have had a look at that ages ago, and I have a few ideas that should help counteract the problems. I have got some new 3D Software drawing program, so I might be able to do a drawing in that once I have figured out how it all works :o

My ant is now built, called Morbo. No speed, no power, no moving weapons and not much armour...I'm here to learn! :D

Hi, as some of you remmember, I have been on AWS 15 and 16 with my ant Flippt!, and I now needs improvements, the question is, what!? I can't figure out what's needed (exept a better driver :oops: ) there is not much footage taken on it, but the latest one is This
I will do a chassi and a nice paintwork on it for AWS 17.
How can I run a reciver (that actully does takes 7,2V!) and run it on 8.4V without destroying it?

I know that Buddy needs alot of improvements, like a better weapon, less wobbleing wheels (and more robust ones, damn you anticyclone! :wink: )

Yes! Morbo's ultimate weapon! It'll fall to bits and the bits will clog up the mechanics on its opponAnt ( :P ) and Morbo will win!
Genius! Ha ha! Beware the blood of Morbo! ect.
