Commercial Speed Controllers
PURPOSE BUILT ROBOT CONTROLLERS
There are several different commercial speed controllers avalible, most of which are based on the
OSMC (Open Source Motor Controller) design. These are outlined in brief below:
RoboWars Integrated Bot Controller (IBC)
Avalible From:
RoboWars,
The RMP∞
Intended Weight Class :
HobbyWeight to
FeatherWeight, although it has been used in lightweights with active cooling
Specs:

General Comments
Use as weapon controller
Build quality poor on unit used in Cyclonite.
Current rating thought to be quite optimistic
