The design is solid, yes, I just wanted to make the point that if your lines were perfectly straight it would look extremely professional and the wedge would ride flat on the ground and be much more reliable


For once the mods did something right

While professional looks nice, the element of surprise is cool too. It is a bit of a sleeper.

I'm sure they saw it and were like "Look at this n00b...", but then it took second place. It's always awesome to prove the skeptics wrong.

Next year I suggest leaving a few extra grams of weight so you can cover it in poorly cut cardboard. Element of surprise.

I was actually thinking something like that.

I was wondering about that at one point.

If I have some extra weight when I finish FireArrow I would totally do this and color the robot in marker. Just for the lulz. :P

Bought some stuff at Hobbytown USA to get started:


They guy there said I need an ESC that would turn itself off when the batteries are too low, but I'm not sure if the ones I'm going to get will do that.

return that rx and buy a hobbyking orange rx. that rx holds the last command sent to it so it will continue to output the same command to the esc so even if the esc failsafes on loss of signal it will continue to get a signal.

you also overpaid for everything if you bought from a hobby shop.

Will I need additional connectors for the lipo pack to connect to the charger?

The charger I got has a TAM connector, so I'll need a JST one for the lipo itself.

?????

you can always cut off the connector and put on your own. or if you are too lazy and have money to burn you can buy adapter connectors

I think I might use this to connect the battery to the receiver.
