Probably not. But it would probably do quite well in a SOZbot compettion (so would a lot of other affordable methods). RC transmissiona re cheap though.

Why not start small? Nothing wrong with that!

Make a small Robot and see if it works. If it does, then move on to the bigger stuff. Every Hobbyist wants to just jump into the final stage and say "I built a Giant 20 foot tall walking robot with dual gatling guns!" But if you cant complete a single module of it, then all is lost. If you can get one module at a time to work, then you may just be able to do so.

Sorry to interject here so late in the game, but Bill: what's the scale on the first photo you posted on this thread? I've been looking around for some small pillow block bearings, but there's no Princess Auto in Saint John. All they've got around here are some massive, industrial size ones! Does anyone know where I can get some small ones, even if only online? Sure, there are plenty of manufacturer sites out there, but I like pictures and price lists!
