30g sounds a lot. Why do you think you will have a weight issue?

Nothing, but I always like to save weight, because an extra cuople of grams usually appear out of nowhere on the day of the event

Yeah.
i can remember that terrior one was really good. It was one of the best flippers. I can imagine terrior two will be really good!

Finished putting the new motors in and new tape on Jigsaw, to take it to the RR event in Barnsley at the weekend. I think with the speed and power increase it'll be really good but I know someone who doesn't agree

Lol!

Looking really nice joey!
Put some asatate on the front and it would be a nice looking and competetive robot.

I reckon Jigsaw could do pretty well, you know, it's the best antweight front hinge flipper I've seen

Yes it looks good the only worry is will the screw heads stop the other robot riding up the wedge maybe you could replace them with coutersunk screws.

I haven't encountered many problems with that since I've been using it, either I've just been lucky or they don't protrude enough to really get in the way (probably the former

)

I have had problems with the screws on the underside catching on arena edges though, I will be looking into countersinking those in the near future as it would also lower the front end.

I've got a new robot in process.

Robot of the Opera
Pushbot
Battery: Cyclone 3 cell
Drive: 4 Polulu hp 50:1
Reciever: Hitec HFS-05MS
SC: Sabertooth Dual 5A
Chassis: Silicon inforced 1.5mm aluminium
Armour: Depends on weight but probably 0.5 or 1mm alu

I making it to withstand most blades so I don't have to carry around too much spare materials.
If there's a problem with the parts I've chosen please tell. sooner rather than later.
