flipper bot specs

[mattsdragons]

what sorts of parts would be used for a HP flipper?

i know weight is an issue due to the high weight of the flipper system but what sorts of motors, batteries and armour etc would be normally used?

Would speed 900's with appropriate gear boxes be too heavy for a flipper?

Re: flipper bot specs

They would work, even drill motors would

Re: flipper bot specs

That's what I was thinking, if you ran drill motors on something like 18v lipos thepoor keeps power up and weight down

Re: flipper bot specs

how much do HP systems cost on average?

Re: flipper bot specs

There is no set price. It's mostly custom work. And weight is very influential on the pricetag.
And there ain't to many people who can/will make them and can do the paperwork to comply to the FRA rules.

I think I'll refrain from answering that question.
