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

my wheels are about 2 inches, hence the low reduction

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

Inch? What's that?

6:1 sounds very low, I think 30:1 would do best

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

unsure yet but their old meccano wheels which are small but wide, need the space inside if im going for a BW bulldog breed

@Matt, I hope you realise that as well as a Bull Dog there is also a Bull Beetle and if you didn't call your robot Bull Beetle Breed you'd be missing a great opportunity!

Name taken!

BullBeetle Breed it is

Haha nice name, and 30:1 would be best I think, I used the slightly lower reduction ones and there fast to fast, with no power on 50mm wheels. Smaller wheels may be ok, but I like my robots to be invertable
