I had to double check that this hadn’t been speeded up, love the transition from wheeled to legged.

Looks like we’re going to need to work on catching up!

They are using some pretty fast servos indeed! I’m wondering what type they are.

They are Futaba RS303MR’s

Its amazing to see the single wheel straight-line speed gear and a BB gun embedded in there aswell !!

Also I think there is a camera just above the gun and a laser sight.

Its got a killer robot appearance,and I love the way the wheels are configured.

The servos properties aren’t really that impressive…

Maximum Output Torque: RS303MR 6.5 [kg/cm]
Maximum Speed: RS303MR 0.11 [sec/60°]

They are just slamming the crap out of them. That can’t be good on the gear train. :open_mouth:

…estimated servo life expectancy: 12 hours. LOL

Live fast, die young, leave a good look’n corpse!
