Got a 4wd setup running now, still got to finish armouring it up and wire in some parts (mainly removeable link and LEDs). Once I get the hinged wedge and footy guides made for it, should be sorted

Just a little vid of running it in the living room - had to cover the rear wheels in sellotape to help it turn on carpet without gobbling up too much current

Lol Gary, just ducktape a torch on to the top of it, although I seem to remember Paul Cooper saying last year that they werent too strict over power lights as long as the link was fitted so you might be able to get away with it.
Got the Power Rangers theme from my bandmate (hes got us rehearsing it now ) who found it somewhere but I dont know where.

James, kept the setup simple, four 9.6V drill motors, powered by two 12V 2.3Ah (or 2.1 Ah, whichever ones are charged) SLAs in parallel and controlled by Electronize 30Ampers with external relays. I thought about having a turbo function to boost the voltage up to 18V for short periods giving large spurts of speed but decided not to (Im gonna save it for use in Hurricane ) Theres a piccy on my profile of the setup from last week when I gave it a quick test run.

Got the rugs out of a local shopping centre a couple of years ago, they provide a nice background sometimes for robot pics.

If I rolled the rug up and ran on floorboards, my mum would have come home from work and probably killed me, especially if Id left big scrapes in the wood

Lol, thats a good way to get rid of unwanted lamp posts Im surprised Ive not been banned yet, have scraped the kitchen and bathroom floors a bit because of random screwheads sticking out here and there. I tend to run them outside now but even that leaves some marks on the patio - perhaps Im pushing my luck a bit. Gives me a reason to attend events though
