Re: NST

Thanks James, keep meaning to post on your build of Predator, that's looking awesome.
I think the main thing that NST has going for it is proven reliability (now I've said that it'll fail!), but I think there are a fair few robots out there which could beat it. Anyway very much looking forward to the champs now to see what it can do this year!

Alex, I'm keeping Shard top secret at least for the time being, I've had the design for it for well over a year but still haven't started the build yet. With any luck I'll get started after the champs and finish it in a years time.

sam, how did you drive the dewalt motor (any fet part numbers?). I'm also going to use 2 of these motors so I would be grateful if you could advise me on how to drive such a powerful motor (the only thing I have found that may work is an industrial mosfet module intended for use on forklifts). thanks

Dragging up an old thread here... Does anyone know the name of the plastic Sam used on the back of his Dewalt? I have gone through this thread and I can't find a name. Apparently something NASA grade if I recall.

That could be it, thanks Tim
