Problem I see Grant is that hobby shops are very unlikely to stock the larger robot models inc the 940.

Alexander if I were you building a bot for the first time (correct me if I am wrong on that one) I wouldnt go near astros. I am not a fan of them personally but thats besides the point. The toughest challenge with robots is to get a moving chassis. Once you have that then start throwing in the big motors etc.

It also looks better to potential sponsors if you can actually show them something working and show them exactly how they can help you.

Just my 2 cents.

he is looking at building a second robot for his dad i think!
James and I will be selling a large range of motors at the test day on saturday, along with chassis and complete drive trains so its worth looking when you get there.

well the motors would be for my second bot i.e. the teams third. so arent astroflight a good company to approach? and are they only in America?

thanks alex

I doubt Astroflight would be interested in sponsoring your robot. Youd be better off finding a local sponsoring you with the money to buy astros.

i have seen a few model shops with the smaller astro 25s, and they would be ideal for feathers also. A money sponsorship would be much harder to get, but if you can its worth it! otherwise, you dont nees astros, spped 900 motors and similar sorts will be very good. If you speak to a local model shop, and say what sort of power you want from a motor they should lead you in a good direction. And then ask for sponsorship

or perphaps try a different avenue, i.e. batteries? could someone suggest places to try?

the same again really, all local model shops will stock items such as transmitters, high power Nihm packs, speed controllers, crystals etc etc. practically everything you will need can be bought from a model shop, or atleast especially ordered in!
