Team Coolspeedbot's robot builds
Decided to make a build diary thats not specific to one robot.
I'll leave a link to the older diary for Killer-wolf here: http://robotwars101.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2439
but to start off this new build diary, let me introduce a new robot to the team...
Bunny-Ears
It's not a joke... My sister named it as well as operate the robot as shown below:
https://youtu.be/F0bh9QC2U9E
Bunny-Ears uses parts donated/ recycled from Alpha_wolf, Killer-Wolf 1 and Killer-Wolf 1.5, including old battery, motors, polycarb panels, ESCs and old transmitter and receiver.

Looking at servos for use as ESCs for Killer-Wolf, from what I have seen on the forum, I might be able to use these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/TowerPro-Micro ... B008Q8Q06G

A recording of a test drive I did with Killer-Wolf 1.5, I soon learned afterwards that one of its ESCs was not working correctly.

Re: Team Coolspeedbot's robot builds
No it wasn't a zeroing issue, it was causing the right wheel to move slower than the left.
I checked the motors with the spare ESCs, and they work fine. So I had a look at the faulty ESC it looks like my rewiring might be to blame.

Re: Team Coolspeedbot's robot builds
Easily done!
If it's not that, check the gear ratios are the same, (and motor voltage rating)

Re: Team Coolspeedbot's robot builds
I first thought it was the motors but after using the spare ESCs the issue was gone.
