with 7 cm wheels, servos are fine for a beginer.
you can always speedhack if you feel like it, you will have no pusing power
understand the fact you want it controlable, good to practice with, then buy motors.
hang on, i could have sworn you live in the uk? Yep. and are building a 150g ant? Yep, well, I'm not sticking to the rules too strictly.

flipper servo
OK, I'll probably get that then. Anything on batteries, so which drive servos?

I'm not using motors right now. Maybe when I get this thing finished I'll switch, but not now.
Anyway, I still need batteries and the right weapon servo.

Please don't use servos for drive, you'll be literally driven around in circles by faster bots.
A pair of tiny escs from finger tech only weigh 4.5 grams each, and a pair of gold sparks(also from finger tech) weigh 28 grams each.
That adds to about 65 grams. If that's too heavy for you, this gear motor would work fine: http://www.robotcombat.com/products/0-GM11A.html
I'm not going to be completing with this thing, and if I need to I can switch out later. The thing is that motors need tools. The most sophisticated tools I have available is a pair of scissors, and a saw if needed. Servos can be plugged directly into the receiver, so they're ideal for me. Well, if you're building something that small, then go for a high-torque micro, but make sure it's a high-end one. You'll still need around 150 oz-in of torque.
Are you sure? Everything I've read about AW lifters/flippers like to servos with less than half that.

I would make a hipster cat meme saying "I disliked Noodle before it was cool", but I really can't be bothered.

That micro servo you're using for the lifter isn't going to do too much. You need at least a standard size high-torque to get any decent lifting power.
I've built some stuff before just messing around, and anything less than a standard servo with 200 oz-in of torque won't lift anything. They're designed for steering in Ready to Run RC cars and control surfaces on 40-size aircraft, and usually neither of these require much load.
Keep in mind that the longer the lifting arm, the less torque you'll have at the end of the arm. You could be able to get something to work if you have an exceptionally short flipper, but otherwise you'll definitely need an upgrade.
As for that drive servo, it will work but in general constant rotation servos are slow.
Thanks for helping! OK, so a normal servo for the flipper/lifter. And the servos are perfect. Slow so I can drive it easily and easy to plug in and use. I'll just wait for a second opinion, just in case, before I order then, though. I'm a bit short on money ATM. Anything on the batteries? EDIT: However, if you are creating a flipper weapon, then you want to use a servo. It's recommended to get a micro servo with extremely high torque so it can flip other robots with ease. So, a normal servo or a powerful micro one? Yet another EDIT: Standard servo w/ 200oz/in at 6v? Nope. http://servocity.com/html/hs-7945th_servo.html65g (Nearly 1/2 of the weight allowance!) £90 (That's about the same as the rest of the bot put together, including my current weak servo (Up until this point.)!)

I can't remember if I made a different thread for this, please do call out my idiocy if I have. OK, just under a year from the last post, I'm still looking for: Drive Servos (Any help would be great) Battery + Charger (Again, help would be welcomed) Wheels If anyone has any spare servos suitable for drive that they're selling (360 degree continuous rotation, Futaba/Hitec connectors), could I possibly buy them? Edit: Would a couple of these be suitable for the drive? http://robots.allthingsgeek.com/catalog/product/view/id/7/s/continuous-rotation-micro-servo/

This guy has to be the biggest faggot on YouTube.  These comments are not uncommon on his videos. And he ALWAYS call everyone 'French ****s'. And his gamertag is F___ALONSO_, which is incredibly gay in SO many ways. And he plays with a 10 year old kid, which is fine, but the kid uses the most annoying voice changer in the known universe. Naryar, your Hammer of Justice is needed.

Any tips for me, for any class? I'm not terrible, but definitely below average.

I'm planning on buying the XBLA version, looks pretty cool, especially that you can play with your friends, and it doesn't lag, and you can blow them up, and take over the world, and enslave them all to produce everything for you, muahahaha. King of the world.
Make sure you have a HDTV and HDMI cable or splitscreen will not work.
Are you sure? I don't see why it wouldn't. Edit: HDMI or Component. So as long as you're not living in a cave 5 million years ago, you should be covered. The TV doesn't matter, IIRC, and almost all TVs support Component cables.

This has been bugging me for a while - how is it that America is fat and the UK is thin when they're the ones who eat sausages, chip butties, and bacon baps all the time?
Lies.

I've had a ton of items drops lately, but no items is really annoying, especially when a lot of other people still do.

I was very disappointed, the 'Dream World' was boring as  and took up half the video. The non-dream bits were great, especially the interviews at the start.

I honestly don't care about driver off the track, just that Vettel is boring, and Alonso is an asshole. And Spanish.
And Maldonado has crashed on purpose 2 or 3 times now, and that was one of those times, he should have yielded and overtook later. The fact remains that Maldonado speared off Hamilton.
Hamilton forced him off the track though, which is what led to the whole event, so I'd say they're both to blame.
Also, please cut your attitude about these dudes, Vettel is a decent driver when he's under pressure and Alonso did great to get where he did.
I agree that Hamilton forced him off, but that doesn't excuse him raming Hamilton off of the track.

My views on the race: Good: -Vettel didn't finish -Red Bull didn't win Bad: -Maldonado speared Hamilton off.  -Alonso won. I cannot express my hatred for that man. Other than that, Vergne drove like an asshole.
