Brushless Motors are Demon Magic - Change My Mind! Let's Improve an Antweight Ep03

Selecting a more powerful weapon motor is important for combat robot performance, but there are right ways and wrong ways to this. I explore both of those ways as I continue to improve my Antweight Combat Robot - The Nylon Brigade. Let's explore KV, voltage, high frame rate video and all sorts of fun demon magic stuff during this process.

FWIW We cut polycarbonate all the time with the CNC router in our shop. So possibly the issue you had was maintaining a consistent feed rate with the hand router? Also I always use spiral O bits for polycarb.
Cool battle bot tho!

You are probably right. I’m just using common wood working tools for my process. They are not really designed for plastics, but they work on some types of plastics and some metals.
