But how is it going to stop The Mighty Seraph

Re: NST

Thanks for the comments guys

In all honesty Craig I think your right, NST just can't stay in the arena lol. With hindsight the NST design is too unstable. Fun to use but not predictable enough for competition. I have enjoyed the challenges of the build and will use the current chassis for at least another competition, hopefully the time consuming gearbox parts will survive and can go into another better designed machine in the future.

I'm on the hunt for a dual motor speedo, Dave recommends the Scorpion XXL (that looks ideal tbh). Does anyone know of any alternative controllers of that spec on the market in the same compact package?
Looks like robotmarketplace have stopped doing the scorp xxl

Re: NST

i got an xl or an xxl and then rick maas upgraded it for me adding extra bits and boobs casing fans in and out etc this maybe within your knowledge and remit though but the best controller ive ever used

I never knew those were a possible addition when you got an upgrade?! :shock:

Or was that just a Freudian slip from you Marler? :wink:

And great, now I'm going to get different images in my mind when someone talks about increasing the size of their FETs!

Re: NST

Thanks Alex thats a good idea, any chance you can PM me rick maas's email?

Cheers Lian


I've done an experiment to see how current thirsty the motors are..... by putting a 25amp power supply on each drive motor and then pushing down on the robot so it does a burn out (on the kitchen floor lol). The motors defo had more to give when being limited to 25 amps each, so a controller capable of 40 amp peaks should do the job without limiting the machines acceleration or pushing power much. The XXL is a very useful size, i'd really struggle to fit a 25A sabertooth in.

An XL/XXL upgraded to at least XXL spec sounds like the perfect solution.

Re: NST

NST will have some upgrades installed over the next few weeks.

This is an armour modification from the weekend....

Might be forced to paint this version if theres any spare weight, or polish the hardox sides and back armour.
