You need to use an image hosting website such as imgur. Then when you upload you can copy the BBC code for the image and paste it here,

Quick note; the TinyESC is only a single-channel ESC - it can only control one motor. You'll need two to make a drive setup.

Hmmmm, okay, ill wait till the botbitz are back in stock that would be very expensive

Are there any other cheap motor controllers which don't need a dsm2/x receiver?

You could buy one of rorys without the receiver and plug it into yours.

Only the full kit with receiver does (as the receiver is DSM2).

One small thing: can you see it has a flat back? Could you perhaps make it a bit more rounded so the robot can roll off of it? The issue with a flat back is that when you try to self right, especially with a rear hinged flipper, it will certainly get stuck on it's back very easily indeed and it will just be stranded in the middle of the arena with no mobility whatsoever. If you add a curved section which would not permit the robot to rest there, that would cure this issue and make the self righting a great deal quicker!

Love that flipper shape though! Really nice.
