can someone possibly bring a 13.8v regulated car charger to the event? (or failing that a 13.8v regulated psu). cheers.
Funny you should ask that, i'm building a 13.8V 20A switchmode power regulator for electronics major work. Unfortunatly it will be in for marking that weekend

How are people looking?
The date's closing in, and as nick's away for a while, not sure if the vert bot planned can happen... beetle's well underway though.
Maybe you'll see roadkill v5 this time _________________ ( •_•)

I think I said 75mm wide - make that 85mm wide to include the thickness of the support arms and you will be right. You also need to leave a lillte space up at the front for the side spoort arms - I will send you a rough sketch later today _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion

Aright, the robot is well started now. So I think it's about time we compile a list of bots. To my knowledge it's
Roadkill
Jolt
TWI?
Retread?
Cobra
Andrew's Brick bot
Jeff F and Jeff J bots?
It's really hazy actualy. I'll update it as people confirm, but it's less than two weeks away! _________________ ( •_•)

Hey Glen - what voltage was that BEC? I can probably lend you one for the event. We won't accept any weaseling out of the competition - Cobra has to be there and that's that! _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion

its the 5v version i ordered, god only knows what the imx-1, spektrum, victors and gyro are rated for minimum.
lol ill probably sprint out to obriens before i head out on the saturday to get those blocks done if thats still alright, and ill deposit the battery money tommorow to courtney when i have to get some to pay mum back for the brisbane trip :s damn i thought she forgot too.
hoping i can get the lightweight swinging its club around for the event. just need wheels bolts and to actually make it all into some frankenstein tensioner _________________ www.demon50s.com - Minimoto parts
