I haven't used them. My bots so far have all used ifi variants (victor 883, thor 883, etc..) and the bar spinner is using the yet to be released RobotPower Firecracker speed controllers for the drive.

Expect everything to cost twice as much as you think, everything's harder than it looks, super glue and/or duct tape is a great way to stop the bleeding, measure around 3 times before cutting or drilling, having a second person check your marks helps too. Anything more specific will be design dependent.

 Most of the work I did today was internal. Most of the wires have been run, just waiting on my new kill switches and firecrackers at this point. Besides some decals, this is how the bot will look when fighting.

It was lost to a brief "Who's got the biggest joystick" argument.

He certainly could have at least gone for something original.

I wouldn't call realistic bots dead in DSL. Most DSL tournaments only allow bots that are "realistic."

'Sup Mad?
Only one on the list I've talked to anywhere near recently was AW. He was at RoboGames last year with Carp and a few bots.

They'll be getting refined if I move forward on the design. This is just the conceptualization of the design.

Only event I can go to that allows flamethrowers doesn't run the 12 or 15lb class.

Sensible driving and good throttle control. Back on topic, working on a potential redesign for Interstellar Overdrive/Apollyon  Drive: 550 motors through banebots p60 gearboxes(16:1) Power: 5 Cell A123 (Yes, I'll have spare motors!) Special Feature: Interchangeable front attachments

Counting from left to right, 1 and 2 can easily break 50 on the right track, 4 can as well depending on gearing. 3's probably up around 45mph.
a "large" track is around 155' long, with quite a few corners. The fastest ones will do this in under 4 seconds, which is an average of 39 feet per second.

Just a thought, using a caster instead of a ballast weight for the -400kg weight makes construction a lot easier.
Also, I'll enter the tourney.

Not with full scale cars, I've raced 24th scale slotcars at just below the professional level(2nd place in the am. division at a national championship event) and spend a decent amount of time practicing driving in odd conditions. I'm the only person I know that practices powersliding in the snow. Saved my life once, oddly enough. Was driving on the interstate at 45-50mph on snowy ground, right rear slid out putting me in a slide at about 30deg off straight, steered out of that and fishtailed a bit before straightening my truck back up and continuing on my way.
Two main reasons I haven't done any racing yet: Battlebots and lack of garage space. The latter is no longer an issue.
24th scale slot cars:
Edit:something busted the image
Most have .007" thick lexan bodies, fastest one can easily break 50mph

Gears are important in robots AND combat robots. :|
I know what you're getting at, but outlined gears look better then saws. That and I plan on the Near Chaos logo being used for more than combat robots. I fully intend to get involved in racing once I'm done with school.

Not too much to update. Installed the battery mounts and weapon speed control in Mr. SD yesterday. Painted the top uhmw panels black. Got a new logo done up-
