so the next project i have settled on (since i have most of the parts) is an antweight to beetleweight spinner combat robot. my biggest question is what sort of drive motors should i use? the weapon motor is probably going to be a brushless airplane motor but all in all I'd like to figure that part out on my own. from fights I've seen the biggest threat to a spinner (asside from another spinner) is a faster, more maneuverable wedge and the most successful spinners I've seen are the ones that can dodge a charging wedge and munch at the sides. this can also be a drawback since a spinner can be a bit awkward to steer and can lead to running into pits and hazards. also the dome and weapon motor of the spinner will likely take allot of weight and the motors would need to be light and efficient at the same time. so my question is what kind of motor should i use for the drive motors? what sort of speed should i be looking for taking the average ring size into account?
