Anyone have dimensions for this motor, including the shaft diameter?

Just a quick question here. I'm building a robot for a school project, and I intend on keeping the chassis after i'm done. The bot is small but quite heavy - What are the specifications for each of the weight classes?

Specifications? You mean weight limits?

Fairyweight = 150g
Antweight = 1lb
Beetleweight = 3lb
Mantis = 6lb (Not widely used tbh, i wouldn't make one as a first bot)
Hobbyweight = 12lb
Featherweight = 30lb
Lightweight = 60lb
Middleweight = 120lb
Heavyweight = 220lb
Super Heavyweight = 340lb (No longer an active weight class)


There's also a 15lb class for BotsIQ, which lots of schools do.

I have a question:

Why do Robots Live! and Roaming Robots/Robot Wars not come to Northern Ireland or even the Republic?

I've moved to other forums. Under a different name. This is where it all began.

Shame. It always feels like I'm in the so close but yet so far region when it comes to seeing robot combat live.

Thwacks are dead, or are you talking about a metly brain spinner like Motorhead and Melty-B?
