and as for max amps from a rcx, do keep in mind its possible to use battery boxes and use an rcx to change the switches. doesnt drain the rcx batteries as fast either. have fun!

If the current setup does not turn as effeciantly as I would like it to with all of the final weight I am just going to take off the front tires rubber gripand be left with only the white hub touching the ground. I have already dabbled in this area and have no worries about it. Right now, I have a simple mock up on the front of the robot for lateral stabilization, it makes it easier to work on the base of the arm that way. When the final bot comes out it will not move wobbled/flex/ anything. I am going to build it like a true 222 machine; so I should be able to drop it from 8 feet in the air
. The weight is no issue. Right now I am actually planning to add weight blocks for a counter balance, but this is one of those test it when it is done things.
