Luke, I'm looking at the FS-2a and it claims to be 4 channel, but doesn't look like it has an aux? How do you bind it? Or does the FLysky protocol work differently to DSM2?

I will mention that servo boards do not have a built in bec for your receiver. Some receivers are perfectly happy with full 2s lipo, some aren't. If you do need to get a bec to go with it though, they don't add much.

Braking can also be achieved using a resistor across the motor terminals - Shakey did a thread on this a while ago, though it's been referenced relatively recently somewhere? My bots don't all have brake. By which I mean Jiggy Sawdust has brake, and that's because it runs the NanoTwo. I actually fin...

N20s typically have a stall current of <1A. Unless you get Polulu High Power ones, but they're kinda pointless for drive in an ant. In terms of choosing your N20, I like 500 or 600 rpm ones for drive. I get mine from AliExpress, though I'm aware some people have issues with quality control from some...

Also E404 - How much pushing power does it have? I'd imagine that the Mechanum wheels do not offer the best grip?

You get some truly massive spanners...
Hpw far up the weight categories do you reckon PM could go?

You pretty much need a grab+lift type robot (grabbing alone doesn't usually allow you to move the opponent that well) *cough* Jiggy *cough* I know Jiggy is far from what I'd call a competative bot, but I can control people pretty well if I get a grab! You don't need a grab and lift - a really unsta...

As someone who drives a grabber, I always try to remain in the arena for style points, but I always figured that the Aggressor rule trumped the Pit Floor rule. I've never really been too happy with the pit floor rule - like it makes sense for if you bounce back out, but if you're in the pit YOU'RE I...

I use a flashed Devo7e for dsm2? I believe that's the standard.

Please make a build log. We all love getting pictures and progress!
