Re: New Featherweights
How did you break it?

Before you criticize another person, first walk a mile in their shoes. Then, when you critisize them, you'll be a mile away and have their shoes.

The Feather is running! Side armour needs fitting and paint is needed so pictures when this is done...

Re: New Featherweights
After reading the last post, and then scanning through this thread, I really wanted to build a feather again! I've been putting it off for ages because one of my speedos was broken, and I had no motors or batteries.
After raiding my featherweight supplies (which have been collecting dust for about 8 years), I found I actually had two sets of 3800mah batteries, speed controllers, motor mounts, two wheels and a drive motor! You know that feeling when you find money in an old coat? It was like that but better. One of the speedos was still broken, but I was embarrassed at how easily I fixed it. How stupid must have been when I last put these away!?
So after work tomorrow, I'm going to get a second drive motor, and I'll have all the bits I need. Watch this space!

Re: New Featherweights
It worries me slightly how much more spacious the inside of the that robot looks compared to mine despite being smaller...

Re: New Featherweights
Thanks. I'm probably going to upgrade to a bigger battery, the current one seems okay but realistically is a bit on the small side, could get a lot better power-to-weight-ratio that way. Not anything fancy like lithium etc, probably Nicad or a Nimh of some sort. Think i have one at home i can use. Going to try and tune up the ESC as well as the response time seems to be a bit on the slow side whilst i was testing it outside today. Its a good platform to work with.

Re: New Featherweights
I got gianticde back from Mr Weston a couple of weeks ago, but had a stripped gear. I will fix it soon and will get back into feathers.
I am working on a new robot feathercide... A fp feather version of anticide
