I’m not sure if this posted the first time or not.I’m not too sure if this belongs here or not, if it doesn’t please forgive me.
I’m looking to build a 220 pound heavyweight combat robot but, would like any recommendations for bot parts:
Radio:
thinking about Optic 5 - 2.4GHz 5 Channel Radio Control System
Motors:
prefer gearmotors
Batteries:
Any suggestions
Electronic Speed Controller
prefer dual channel
Miscellaneous:
Connectors:
Powerpole connector kit
Wire
Any Suggestions
A preliminary question before suggesting products / categories: Will the robot be a sumo type and/or do you need it to push other robots?
Also, do you have a general design? Two / four / six wheels or tracks? Can you provide a drawing or sketch?
Any and all additional details would be helpful.
No sumo, It’ll have a spinning drum, 2 wheels. I have a general idea, no drawing yet.
All I could do is post a picture of what I’m loosely basing the design off, if that would help?
Any additional information would help. You an upload an attachment just below the reply window.
Sorry, for the long wait, I had some work commitments that I had to take care of.
Anyway, this is what I am loosely basing my bot design around:

if you could also suggest wheels as well. This is for a 220 pound wedge bot. It would need to push other 220 pound robots. I would also need a LED power indicator light.
You will need really powerful motors and wheels, and a controller to go with it.
Do you have access to a machine shop? Do you have a budget in mind for the robot?
You will really need to draft a design before choosing specific parts.
Only the most powerful of our motors and gearing stand a chance, and even so, still might be underpowered.

For the record I do have access to a machine shop. On top of that a buddy of mine is going to do the CAD work for me ( tried it myself once couldn’t get the hang of it). I was told I would need to choose the parts before the designing could be done.
Four CIM gear motors may work, but 220 pounds, pushing against another robot takes quite a lot. You might need to choose something even more powerful, which unfortunately we do not carry at this time.
