Re: servos

yes that would work but dont expect it to win any thing i did that at the start but i have now moved on to bigger and better things.
cheapest servos(good speed bad torque) easy to speed hack

Re: servos

do i have to use servos or can i plug a motor in the recever?

[harry hills]

Re: servos

a motor needs a speed controler which plugs into the reiver, its is much more expensive but nearly all ants use it. speed contollers are about £45

Re: servos

can u take the gears off and use the servo motor?

[harry hills]

Re: servos

no, that would mean your robot would not move, the motor on its own will have no where near enough torque to move a robot, they are good speed hacked though

Re: servos

Until they both fail on the day of the event

Re: servos

sd200's all the way, outpushed dynamite at the latest AWS and thats one of the torquiest robots around
at £12 each there pretty cheap too, a bit more pricy than the budget servos but will last for donkeys years
