what machine u need for control "something" from distance?

[infernolab]

@mierdaalamar We used model airplane & helicopter & car & boat remote control radios.

[mierdaalamar]

@infernolab :D nice, i have some remote vehicles(cars) can u tell where i can found that control radio into a remote vehicle? send me some photo from google or something... thanks! (sorry for my bad english, i from Spain)

[infernolab]

@mierdaalamarI believe that the voltage allowed is unlimited in a robot, as long as it's safe. Look up the RFL (Robot Fighting League) forum on Delphi to read the official rules for current events. Also check out the RobotMarketplace website to buy equipment.

[mierdaalamar]

@infernolab wow that's fucking nice! i wanna try to build something :P not for fight (idk) just get fun, if i have something builded in the next's 3..4...month's , i show u a photo :D

[mierdaalamar]

@infernolab and can u tell me how much V can be used in one robot?

This might be what would happen if Red M&M and Yellow M&M's relationship went sour. Really, really sour...

omg my uncle whooped you XD

[infernolab]

I specified polycarbonate for the clear panels. This sponsor didn't know the difference between the two materials & ordered the cheaper. They ordered the raw material & did the machining. I took the machined parts & assembled them into Towering Inferno.

[BellyLover06]

So what happened with Towering Inferno? Looked like it and Frenzy were going at it pretty closely for a little while there.

[infernolab]

@BellyLover06: Unfortunately, one of my sponsors at the time didn't know the difference between acrylic & polycarbonate & made Towering Inferno's structural body panels out of brittle acryclic instead of tough polycarbonate. FrenZy got a few good wacks in that shattered Towering Inferno's body panels, which skewed his structure & derailed his chains, leaving him dead in the water. :(

[BellyLover06]

@infernolab That sucks, especially since two-wheeled bots like yours are harder to drive.

[muttboy9]

@infernolab that would explain the broken pieces flying everywhere

[thenutjob34]

@infernolab im pretty sure you tried to convince your sponsor, but why did they build it with acrylic? did they build part of the robot or did they buy the part and you couldnt tell the difference? wouldnt sponsor you if you expenses went to high? what happened?
