Here is the website.... There was a link to it on our website during the winter season but we deleted it...

Here it is:

There are pictures and the full story!!!

We had to use Battle Bot technology in order to run the 24 volt system.. We had to buy 2 24 volt speed controllers and 24 volt relay to control the brakes. We took the 2000 robot controller and wired it to one of the 12 volt batteries. From there we just wired everything up!! The cool thing is that one of our Machinist/Wheelchair quality controller..... works for Pride Mobility which made the wheelchair. He had to get us a really old wiring harness to wire up the motors.


The TIGERTRONS accually attended the one Nutcracker play as a field trip LOL

We let the guy from the Ballet drive it though....... (its not a good thing to let robot drivers on stage)
