Electra
Fast Dalek

The first Fast Dalek was build in an hour just before a competition. It was named the next day, and actually did quite well. It was intended as a replacement for Electra, using motors and a controller, rather than servos.

The wheels are the same lego 30.4 rubber wheels I use for Dynamite and the battery is a 145mAh Lithium Polymer. The weapn servo is a Park HPF-X, about the fastest servo there is, the linkage to the flippers is titanium, which is very stiff.

Luckily Fast Dalek didn't encounter a spinner, as it has virtually no armour, and relies heavily on electrical tape.
