Well, it was fun smashing your baseplate even when it had frozen up :P

How thick?

haz · « **Reply #306 on:** May 18, 2011, 11:37:40 AM »

1.5mm

Vertigo · « **Reply #307 on:** May 18, 2011, 11:49:29 AM »

You'll probably get away with that, but thicker would be preferable

i only have 75mm wheels so im trying to get it as low as posible

i have now modified my dx5e so that it has a mirco switch on the side, and i've got a new weapon servo for deodorANT

haz · « **Reply #310 on:** May 21, 2011, 10:08:31 AM »

thats roughly how the new deodorANT will look, any thoughts

Can't you make the wedge any shallower?

haz · « **Reply #312 on:** May 21, 2011, 10:16:49 AM »

the idea is to have the wedge then have a flat bit at the botom like this: _/

So clean! Where do you get your parts from again?

Just curious. You put it all together rather well! I am mostly curious about the control board and chipset. With how you have it all set up, it looks like you bought a kit. Nice work.

Nah. That's o.k. Thanks though. I hardly have time to build bots in RA2, let alone ever build a bot for actual competitions. I am more focused on getting my project car on the road again, bot building might have to come next year. :P
