Today I want to talk primarily about what all the specifications and numbers on each component even mean, and how to pick a full system of parts that will work together. In the combat robotics world, we use a lot of the same exact electronics as are used in other robotics projects, RC cars, planes, and drones. These all often have a ton of numbers on their product pages, and I want to break down what these all mean, and how you can choose the right parts to ensure your project or robot doesn’t blow up. I will also briefly talk about how a lot of these ratings can be misleading, or just downright lies, and what you should be looking out for. I’ll also show examples of a couple of products that do the same thing and the differences between them.
