Description

  • FingerTech 'Viper' Combat Robot Kit V2
  • Is fully intended to be sawed, drilled, modified, and upgraded
  • Offerts polycarbonate combat armor to keep the components safe
  • Includes a JST-to-9V Adapter cable
  • Ages: 10+

The FingerTech 'Viper' Combat Robot Kit V2 comes with everything you need to get started in combat robotics. The custom-formed 6061-T6 Aluminum chassis has plenty of strength and space for additional components and upgrades. 

The kit includes a JST-to-9V Adapter cable so you can power it with a 9V battery instead of a lipoly battery. Battery is not included!

Two FingerTech "Silver Spark" 33.3:1 ratio gearmotors with 2.25" Snap Wheels provide both speed and pushing power. Two FingerTech "tinyESC" speed controllers translate the radio receiver commands into motor movement and provide 5V power to the radio.

Pas mal, se sent un peu décevant

Ça va bien, le métal et les moteurs sont bons. Le système mécanique de la roue et de l'attelage est cependant faible. Ils sont conçus pour résister aux coups, mais sont constitués d'une mousse souple. Glisse également le long de la face inférieure avant, sans roulement ni même en plastique pour minimiser les frottements. Dans l'ensemble, une conception de bas niveau. J'ai amélioré les roues et jeté sur certains UHMW, maintenant c'est bien.

Super bot, surtout pour les débutants

J'adore le bot! Je n'ai eu aucun problème (autre que la manipulation de petites pièces) lors de l'assemblage. Actuellement, je dois chercher comment amener mon contrôleur à naviguer dans le bot comme je le souhaite (pour le moment, ce n'est pas très intuitif), mais c'est fabuleux.

Great bot especially for someone just starting out in the hobby

Love the bot! I had no problem whatsoever (other than handling small parts) assembling it. Currently, I'm having to research how to get my controller to navigate the bot the way I want it to (right now it's not very intuitive), but it's fabulous.

Not bad, feels a bit underwhelming

It goes together well, metal and motors are good. The wheel and coupler mechanical system is weak though. They are designed to take hits, but are made of a soft foam. Also slides along the front lower face, no bearing or even plastic to minimize friction. Overall a low level design. I upgraded the wheels and threw on some UHMW, now its alright.
