Whats going on with the modular charging circuitry? Is it a bms thats able to charge different configurations?
Definitely worthy of running in the the 2019 Best build competition this year! You bringing it with you again when you fly back?

Nah it’s just for me to swap out components easily. I like butchering my old builds for parts.
Hopefully.

Nice build, my favorite of the competition so far! Soldering all the connectors for modularity is a really nice execution, I would also like to see how the battery was assembled in a different thread. Getting this low to the ground with 90mm wheels is awsome.

Did you opt out on sensored or cable length not long enough?
Not long enough. I’m still waiting on extensions to be shipped, but running unsensored isn’t actually that bad. With the amount of free roll the R-Spec drive has plus with how low you are to the ground, it’s actually incredibly fun to kick push this around.

I still can’t believe that the airline let you in with 48 “AA” cells. Most international flights have limits to amount of individual cells you can carry.
I’ve been considering making a modular lipo pack where I can buy some cells where I’m travelling and just plug them and and ship them home on the way back.
I’m going to do it again next Saturday. Wish me luck lol.
The trick is to split them up, half in the box and half scattered all over your carry on.

Hahahah what do you think my chances of getting 60 cross through are
It depends from where you are flying. I am professional photographer and carry up to five cameras on my trips with at least two spare batteries for each camera, on some airports they just let you through on other ones I have to get special permission by the airline and airport personnel to carry more then 5 batteries. Korea is a nightmare for instance, it takes up to one hour and a lot of talk that they let me go.
Agreed. I went through Incheon airport for a transit flight and got held up for about 15-20 mins cause I was carrying my Standard Range boosted battery. They didn’t say anything to me though, they eventually let me go after talking to someone on the phone.
Only transit might be easier and having the battery in one piece might help too, they count my powerbanks as one piece only but tried to read the capacity of them. Last winter they held me for one hour and just because I had to board they speeded up the process. This year it took them only 20 min. but they and I have to sign a document each time.
Why are they holding you? Like, what are they trying to do while they hold you? Ask you to sign the documents?
Did some more routing to deal with some wheelbite during really extreme turns.
Still have to figure out where to put the on/off switch.
For now it’s taped up on the side, which works, but I’d like to put it somewhere in between the baseplate, maybe have a 3D printed part that fits in the gap or something. Plus I have to extend the cables.

Yes, to sign that fucking document and to have the airlines supervisor to look over it and grant the special permission.
Thanks @onloop and/or Enertion for the feature, but I would have appreciated if you asked me about reposting my pictures as a courtesy. I would have agreed anyway, but a heads up would be nice.
Also if you saw this Facebook post: https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10156137151888177&id=520928176
The very first item is a video of me pushing the board under a boosted. You might want to add that to your IG post too. It’s much easier to see how low the board is.

Working on some underglow lights:
The lights are white on standby and progressively turn green or red depending on my remote throttle.
I did it by first splitting the receiver output between the unity and an Arduino.
Then by reading the receiver signal, I control the LED’s with the Arduino.
