Hello

Has anybody measured the top speed of the Hexcrawler?

If yes I would really like to know, as I need it for some calculations.

Thanks in advance.

    We just measured the speed of the Hexcrawler I'm working with.

    An astonishing speed of 0,063 m/s! Which is about 0,23 km/h!

    We measured the speed by letting the Hexcrawler walk 20 steps and then timing this.

    Loaded with at breadboard which contains a Propeller chip, a prop-stick and a 9V battery.
    For the servos we use a 7,2V 3300 mAh NiMh RC battery the Hexcrawler majesticly made it's way towards the setting sun...

    We consider naming the Hexcrawler: "Lightning McQueen" :-D
