We’ve got a new sponsor!
VEX Robotics (previously IFI Robotics) has just sponsored us with their terrific Victor speed controllers.

Some Specs:
4x 350w scooter drive
4:1 #25 chain reduction
Welded Steel frame (chromoly + regular tubing)

Enjoy the pics:
*note* frame is not welded, it is held together by duct tape for now

Another Saturday build session at our Bot Cage at 10 am. We’ll probably work until 4.
