Thoughts on robot wars

Well that’s my 1st robot wars competition over and done with and I can say I have much to improve on !

Movement – Servos modified for 360 degree rotation have lots of drift and thus slowly rotate when you want it to happen least. Use proper servos or motors and drivers.

Battery life – 300 mAh batteries are fine but excess weapon motor useage will deplete them. Locate the charging port to somewhere that’s easy to access for charging between rounds.

Amour – All cables *must* be projected from cut damage or you risk losing the round early as the green machine experienced.

Overall though I felt I did alright and got through to the 3rd round.
