[lianpatr923]

Not to be rude but,WTF is wrong with u the fast forwarding is soo annoying and next u do a video try not to fast foward ,be like kipkay and he doesn't fast forward ok ok

[Mainer1945]

Make 2 and drag racing comes to mind.

[youthdoctor46]

Kipkay ftw!!! KEEP KAY KEEP KAY KEEP KAY!!!

[akosijaja]

it ran backwards. lol

you might want to reverse the polarity of the wires connected to the motor. :)

[naushadshakoor]

FF ur ass!!! this video is pointless!

[lukey546]

u suck kip kay is better he hows u how not skip!

[pogohero6334]

I've had a lot of trouble with this kit, my motor would drag on the ground and pin in circles. then the connections kept breaking. and because the pcb is thin and the copper connectors are so small when I would go to solder it the solder would not stay on the pcb but instead jump to the soldering iron. as this was happening not even 5 minutes ago my fist accidentally came down on it at a high rate of speed. WHOOPS. fuck this shit.

Pointless, annoying, timewasting…FUN!!

brilliantly pointless

[Darwinpasta]

Cool project, awful intro, but a pdf of the actual circuit would be nice for those of us who hack on a budget.

[machinevolution]

agreed

[traptindahhrkness]

im not getting anything from solarbotics, I got herbie the mousebot and it was a pain in the butt to put the frame together and it didnt even work, and the nose broke X D

[kkjiikk]

very slow

[DairyProduct]

Lets FF through the contsruction and soldering so we cannot see it. Whats the point in adding all that to the vid if your going to FF though it? I understand the kit comes with intructions, but if your not going to show the whole process in realtime then just cut out that and show the finished product working..

[xhenrylpx]

I can't see

is very fast:S

[xerox165]

Now that's a good project

[stich983]

nice beginning

[skimfreak92]

God! Spamers in this thread are such massive dickheads!

[skierplaterandy]

what is the curcuit for it i have all the parts i just dont know how to go about building one (i dont have the actual kit but i have the components and i can mount it on a proto-board.

[elreservista]

Copado, proximo paso, un Spirit a escala!!

[skierplaterandy]

cool i have a panel like that and alot of little motors and electronics. im sure gunna try one. can i get a schematic?

[toyserific]

fuck you!

[vegetaldigital]

esta piola el pcb doblado...

Como lo habran hecho!!!????

[chick7489]

I say it the same way D: haha your awesome.. im sarcastic with people like that too... im an aussie in america.. so every conversation is pretty much like that.. the bloody shitters~

[goldeneye007662]

Kip Kay does the Weekend Projects. This dude does how To Tuesday, which I love, and I guess these

[Wrim]

You should make a plane :)

[Skwigle]

it will fly hight and then DIE because it will be out of energy xD XD XD

[skierplaterandy]

lol. planes are hard to build unless you make them big. i had a little foam glider that glides well and i attached a very Very small motor with a propeller and 2 watch batteries. the propeller spun up well but the added motor weight was too heavy for the lift it made. so if i had a bigger plane with bigger motors. the bigger wing would keep lift under slow speeds.

[Mandlize]

take that out to a tennis court (because its smooth) on a sunny day, and watch that thing go

[TheTarrMan]

cool

[deado000]

Didn't that go backwards?

You should be able to charge it up and then press a button when you want it to set off; that would be a lot handier.

[skierplaterandy]

that would be a good project to do yourself :)

[masterducky1]

Where's kipkay

[makemagazine]

Most likely working on another Weekend project video.

[th55]

[rebel4055]
