That's not Li-Ion. That's lithium-iron-phosphate. However you'll be hard pressed to find 32 of those for $70. Why not just go with lead acid and bigger motors? That's what I did with my robot. 16Ah 24V. 2*350W (700W total) motors. Thing can take 250lbs of bricks to 30mph in 7 seconds.

Yeah it's a combat robot. I still have to take a new video. I built it months ago and haven't touched it since. There are no battles anywhere anymore. So it just sits in my garage :/
It's got an axe and lawn-mover blade.
I'd sell it for $700, but shipping would be ridiculous as the thing is 24 x 18 x 6" and 70 something lbs. Nobody would come to pick it up either.

ummmmm... 70 lbs..... that's either an oversized light weight or an anorexic middle weight. and what the hell do you mean you will sell it to me!!!! no self respecting battlebots builder would buy another mans robot. plus i haven't seen it, i hate ax and hammer bots, 700w is WEAK by my standards i go no less than 3000w for drive, and your right shipping would be ridiculous. one question is it an under cutter? cause that's the only way i can think of a robot having a blade and an ax.

maybe retask it as a wifi scanning 'bot? it might also be useable as a telepresence setup with a fairly large LCD screen mounted on a post... ?
Surely someone must be interested in it, over here such things aren't seen because no-one has the expertise or time to build them.

How much thorium do you have? O_o
And there are many channel islands. Which ones are you talking about? As for the robot, it's hard floors only. It's got rubber wheels. For it to be useful like that, I'd need to rebuild the entire thing and use tires. I may do it sometime next year, otherwise I'll just sell the parts. I'm thinking of making the frame from angle iron and bolts, because I can't weld for sh#t.
Yeah the HAD thing surprised me. I've gotten on there 4X before, first when I was 13 for this. I told caleb to take the posts down when I changed my website though

Consider that he's a subject of the Queen, or read the location under his avatar and Google Guernsey and Jersey I think part of geographic knowledge is getting the scope of provincial, regional, and globally known place names. In this forum I would sooner omit the USA after California, than S.F. or San Francisco before Bay Area.
