Re: ESC Sanity check

I'll be interested to see this at BotFest, I am curious as to how robust it will be.

Re: ESC battery and motor paring

In theory, this sounds "OK" to me. I've done something vaguely similar on a Middleweight (which is 20x heavier) in the past where one motor would drive one wheel, each of those motors were tied to a 60A continuous ESC per side. However, what I found was that if it would often lead to motor...

Re: BotFest 3 (14th September 2019)

With just over 5 weeks until BotFest 3, a new arena floor has arrived and yes, it is a 810x810mm single piece of plywood which I'll get painted and detailed at some point next week. Next thing on the list is to see about sorting the roof which whilst it "works", I'd like it to be more to s...

Re: ESC Sanity check

The yellow wire is the second signal wire I believe. The 3 pin connection into the receiver from the ESC will drive the receiver happily but if there are 2x 3pin wires, I imagine the ESC or the receiver would blow. You would need to put the yellow wire into the signal pin on the receiver on the chan...

BotFest 3 (14th September 2019)

Re: Coping with the demand (An EO's perspective)

To chip in on this discussion as a person who didn't attend this AWS: Multiple arenas : So long as the extra arena(s) met AWS requirements, that'd be OK but it'd then require more event crew to make it work which I know can be a problem.

Re: RoboShowdown arena

Looks good, what is the overall arena surface area? You mention a gap between events, do you mean AWS ones?

Re: Botfest 2 (23rd March 2019)

I am sure I got both rumbles. Glad you enjoyed the event, it is just a nice, relaxed event to come along to and see how your robots fare against someone else's machines.
