Mailbag

I love it when packages arrive! Today I got three in the mail.

First was a bag of 1104 Brushless DC Motors. These are destined to be the weapon motor in a fairyweight combat robot.

Next was a couple ESCs to drive the motors. These claim to be 20A and they only weigh about 4 grams.

I also got about 1000 tiny metric machine screws. (M1.4, M1.6, M2, M2.5)

I soldered one of the motors to one of the ESCs. These ESCs do not have a BEC, so I had to run another ESC in addition to power the servo tester.

It works!
