RC Nerf Tank

Step 18Adding a power switch

Adding a power switch
To turn the tank on and off I'm using a automotive store switch I got for $4. Its rated for 35A so it should be more than enough for what I need. I mounted it on the bottom side panels between the wheels where it hopefully will not get switched off accidentally.

You can also see the grounding stud in the polycarbonate motor mount to tie the negative battery wires together.

You should add a cover for the power switch: for example you are sneaking up on someone with this robot and the switch catches on something on the floor... what will you do? other than that this thing looks awesome.
