  • @Ryuuken24 when you're in engineering, mechanical in this case, you often use RC to drive the robot, or whatever it may be, in the prototype phases, and for the competitions especially. Look at FIRST. We use RC to drive/test our preseason/promo robots. Then for the actual season we use a more advanced controller and drive station. It's all applicable and there are a lot of scholarships available for students in FIRST or similar programs. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's stupid.

  • Bumpercars....

  • ..very cool !!

  • Sounds like a dentists drill.

    Put these on a car and parallel parking is a snap!

  • Where did he get the gimbal?

  • GREAT! but... will it blend?

  • Now add suspension and watch the complications grow

  • With wheels on it isn't it restricting lateral movement? Can't you put like trapped orbs just as a drive less wheel thats just for stability and mobility instead of wheels.

  • This could be pretty handy from a robotic stand point. Only way to know if it would work as a vehicle would be to build one and see.

  • Friction will kill you
