Re: spinner motor help

@Dave the motor is running using pullys on a 1:1.5 ratio.
My budget for the motor and ESC is £60
@Jamie KLB does stand for KiLoBot

I don't know why I thought the robot class concerned was featherweight, I must be tired. (or OLD) You are quite right Dave in this class brushless would be the way to go,
On the subject of feather spinners the problem with brushless is keeping the robot in the arena! I hope to make a Kilo bot too, but first I want to see the arena finished and at a show then I will make something fun and totally useless.

@Ben, Isn't your bar going to weigh loads? At 6mm thick and 300mm long it'll weigh around 600g!

Re: spinner motor help

Just had a look at a ruler, 300mm is a bit of a overkill!
I'll proberbly go for a 6'' blade instead.
As for the motor either

Would these work for a Drum Spinner?

Tom was building one. Found a pic here,

Apparently it's further on than this with the upper support frame all finished. Not sure if he had purchased the polycarbonate for the sides yet.
