No drive motors, too lesser wheels
Maybe up it to:

2x TWM3mr Drive (Correct?, well the ones next to the NPCs)
2x Granny Slipper wheels

The point is it's meant to be components that are never used, so granny slipper wheels and magmotors kinda defeat the object
but thanks anyway for the suggestion

KM, I think the point of this is to make the best noob bot you can using the required parts. Although more wheels (like S3's, mud tires, T-minus wheels, maybe the little tazbot ones) need to be there.

I might give this a go actually.

I have a bot made, challenge though!

uhh, km, the list may change between now and signups, so i wouldn't recommend jumping the gun and making a bot right now
but i look forward to seeing your entry anyway

Piglets + mini wheels make for a good ride, surprisingly!

JoeBlo · « **Reply #48 on:** October 02, 2010, 12:08:52 PM »

piglets are weapon motors so dont have great torque for drive applications

SteveM4 · « **Reply #49 on:** October 02, 2010, 12:09:54 PM »

Surprisingly, they do! But when you add the batterys and CO2 tanks, they are REALLY slow!

JoeBlo · « **Reply #50 on:** October 02, 2010, 12:14:23 PM »

the proof is in the values of the text file :P low Torque

The amount might be good for making a Botweiler replica, though.

Slimbody drive would be a lol :P

Or take it even further and use astros or even copals. Lol XD

*growls*

How many times must i repeat that PIGLETS ARE NOT DESIGNED AS DRIVE MOTORS BECAUSE OF LOW TORQUE ?

J24 · « **Reply #55 on:** October 03, 2010, 01:02:56 PM »

*thinks about putting piglets as the only motor available*

I know, that's why it is SURPRISING!

Also, J24, try Slimbody motors, I don't see many of them about.

J24 · « **Reply #57 on:** October 07, 2010, 02:35:10 PM »

I has put a poll up just to get an initial idea of how many people would enter this

J24 · « **Reply #58 on:** October 12, 2010, 11:03:15 AM »
