That thing will be on its fourth or fifth generation before many of us have even got our first ones complete! But it's looking good though, definitely an improvement with the motors. I'd always had reservations about the ability of the precision microdrives to cope with beetleweight mass and forces.

Just a quick question, roughly what size is everybody thinking of making their robot? if all goes well i should be cutting stuff tommorow so dont want to make it too small/big

Mines about 200mm Dia. This quite big I think. I think 180 is just over 200mm x 100mm ish

I'm not sure what banebots are doing, I think they're finding a way to make everything more expensive. Regardless theres some stuff in the clearout section which looks like it would be useful for any budding beetleweight builders.

I want to know what banebots are doing with my controllers, I have 2 en route and its taking a long time, despite paying £12 postage for them

looks cool

Re: UK Kilobots - 1.362kg (3 lbs) Combat Robots

Definitely a lot nippier than with the old motors. Should be good when it's complete, provided RC Killalot doesn't kick its arse

Thats very nice Kenny, I suppose those motors are a bit more suited to kilobots than the Pololu motors.

BTW, I checked the UPS tracker, my controllers got into UK customs this morning, so I should get them soon.

And I have one done as well. The only thing we need now is an arena to run them in.
