« on: December 08, 2009, 10:19:45 AM »
Hey guys and girls

Hi,

RC-Servos all use the same coding scheme.
You could make a cheap servo tester to see whether they work or not and it might come in handy later on as well.

A rather fast and fairly heavy robot with quite large wheels needs what? A lot of power?
