Hi,

I am in 6th grade and participating for my first science Olympiad in Virginia. I am in desperate need of help.I am not able to understand the parts I should order. Sorry, I am new to this

I looked at the Polou website but it has many different 12v motors. Can you please guide me in selecting the motor, compatible gear and threaded axle I should order. I spend a lot of time on internet looking.

Thank your for your help. I am so interested in participating in this event.

Thank you!

I replied to your PM, make sure to check that. However, avoid creating new topics in the future unless absolutely necessary. Extra topics clutter the forum, to put it simply... Based on the subject of your question, this could have been have been posted in the main topic.

So I have this random capacitor lying around... would it be of any help in final revisions to my battery buggy? The capacitor is a 1000 MFD gray cylinder with a wire coming out of each end.

You are not allowed to use capacitors

Are rail systems - like the Actobotics X-Rail (https://www.servocity.com/x-rail) - suitable for Battery Buggy? Are there any better aluminum frame alternatives?

I used aluminum angle bars. I suppose the x-rail would work too.

How wide is your frame by the way?

Thin. Sorry, at this point in the season, I'm not willing to share certain information.
