BUILD REPORT:
Finding a Happy Balance
● by Pete Smith
Today's Beetles and Ants have drums and beater bars that
can spin in excess of 20,000 rpm.
If the weapon is not properly
balanced, then the severe
vibrations can make driving very
difficult, and damage the
electronics and motors of the bot
itself. R/C model aircraft have the
same issues with propeller and
helicopter blades, and its from
that source that I found a simple
way to minimize the problem.
