Well, it would have to be electrically connected to the batteries in some way, which means either wires or some sort of friction ring contact system. If you use the former, the wires break after a few spins due to twisting, and if the latter, the friction from the contacts rubbing against the ring causes the entire robot to catch fire...
...so yeah, having the self righter spin is not advisable :P
ffffff>Completely off topic, but one of my favourite Jonathan Pearce quotes ever is just before King B3 vs. Atomic in series 4: It has a problem...they know it has a problem...it catches fire... :P
first off, too heavy, second off, ur spin up time is off, far too slow, you have 30hp there shifting approx 40% of ur total weight (40kg of 100kg) thatll be upto speed, full speed in less than a sec, but u really dont need 2 eteks
and it seriously matters if ur selfrighter spins if its not balanced itll spin out of control
The self-righter tends to be attached to the shell, and when the shell spins, so does the self-righter, but when flipped, the shell naturately stops, and so then the roboteer self-rights the robot - its a design used by AJ with Psyclone, a very different version of PsycloniZer.
If I were you Liam, Id remove a E-Tek and replace it with 2 x LEM130 at 36V - weigh together 6kg, and produce 18hp. True the E-Teks offer more power (12hp more actually) but weight 30kg together, and I think that 2 E-Teks, let alone 1 is overkill.
Better still, go for a LEM200 at 48V, 25hp, 11kg - pure power.
30 kg for eteks? LEM200 produce 25hp? since when, the etek and LEM 200 are pretty much the same preformance wise,
Etek is 11kg and produce 15HP on 48v
LEM200 is 11kg and produce wait for it 15HP on 48v
the LEM2X2 produces 25hp but that weighs something like 25KG
