Great Models !!!

Just a little review, in the Sumo Tank is very clear that the power connection can be a problem, it near touch the track for sure, it happend to me a lot of times.

A little help will be to provide the Battery Holder https://www.makeblock.cc/battery-holder/

With a angle connector like this:

Or provide an adapter as optional

Just another comment about the battery, I still think that is a ton better to use 18650 batteries that last longer and don’t lost charge when not used. I used my robots a ton and I recharge a little my batteries

I tried with 2 and 3 batteries and of course the best option is 3 x 18650 3.7v batteries with this holder:

Hi @Markuitos,

We have already got some recharge battery. However there would be some problem about the battery transportation. We are checking that…

For the power connection, I have transfer this opinion to our supply chain staff. They would consider it seriously. That is really a problem we need to figure out.

@Johnny glad to know that !!

I recommend u that only sell the battery holder, sell lithium batteries now a day is a real problem because customs around the world, because the danger of lithium batteries with heat and other things, a lot of customs are restricting it, require to use additional packaging and u will get ton of complains about that.

I’m sure that the Makeblock users can buy the batteries in another place and u can only provide the holder with the right connector

I use this batteries that are awesome:

PS: Great about the power connector, I think that using an orange one for the power (like the motors) as an alternative would be great (of course can cause problem with connecting the wrong way) but is only another connect option for advance users :smiley:

Cheers
