Antweight flipper question

[Scottylad7]

Hi guys, so im pretty new to building these. im not interested in going into comps, just a bit of fun in the yard. Ive built a robot using the Sabertooth board (works great) What id like to know is, is there a cheaper way to build a little bot that has just two wheels and a servo for a flipper than using the Sabertooth boards (These are £38.00)?

I didnt know if id seen somewhere you can use two micro ESC but i could be wrong.

Thanks again!!

Hey,

For antweights, I'd definitely recommend heading over http://robotwars101.org/forum/. It's where most of us ant guys hang out and there's a wealth of information there.

In answer to your question, the standard setup that I'd recommend to new roboteers would be one of Rory's kits. They come with the control board, receiver, motors, and wheels, all in one package. You can find more information about them here: http://robotwars101.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2187.

Best of luck .

Just another quick question Scott, while im waiting for Admin to say im ok to post in 101. Do you know if the guy that makes the Nanotwo kits is still making them? RapidRory hes called. i cant message him yet.

No problem Scott! XD

Yes, Rory is very active within the robotics community, so I'm sure if he has time (and stock) he'll be able to help you out.

I do still make them, and I have the parts in stock atm, so will be happy to put one together for you

Fantastic, id like the full set up please. im wanting to make a flipper robot. i have a 3D printer so ive designed a body i just need the electrics. i have a Spektrum DX6i and id like to run a servo of this set up too.

[Scottylad7]

Hi Rory, Please can you let me know when youve sent out the parts. Many thanks

[Rapidrory]

It was shipped this morning; there was a slight delay as I was out of stock of a particular part so needed to order it back in first.

[Scottylad7]

No worries, Thanks agin Rory!!

Just come through the door thanks Rory, Just a quick question, how do i bind it to my Spektrum DX6i, is the small wire that came with it a bind cable? If so where do i put it on the board. Thanks!
