Re: Robo Challenge - 2013 FRA UK Featherweight Championships

Surely that disc will grind?

When I move to the Brushless I will be moving to a new disc with a single tooth, if you can call it that. I may cut it out for this champs though if I have the money.

Weapon: Pair of horizontal grabbing claws powered by an 18V GLA-S actuator.

Re: Robo Challenge - 2013 FRA UK Featherweight Championships

Its only 10mm HDPE for the uprights but supported by 2mm Ti

Conker 3 is already in design, reusing the outer body panels, but the new bulk heads will be 20mm Aliumec to support a HK-5035-800Kv motor which is about 4x more powerful than the S900's.
