Try this one ....The upstart unit.
10 feet per second , 480 pound load , very cool black paint job :cool:
This version isn't top secret anymore ;)
it does weigh a bit (25 kg) and won't fit in normal kit , it comes in a peli case and is used for "special" opperations ;)
The prototype was all ali machined out of solid blocks but there are plans for a moulded kevlar case that will lighten it a lot. though the ali one will last longer .
I've been looking for spare motors to use on a robot wars attack vehical :twisted: :twisted:
