Hi @Jon166537 - welcome back 😃 can you help us out a bit with some more details? This isn’t a forum specific to robot battles so our users may not be familiar with the rules (or even what competition you’re referring to! 😅 ) A link to the competition, rules etc would be a great start. In any case, I can see from your Bill of Materials that yeah - you do cover the basic recipe for building a substantial little robot, but how specific do you want to get with feedback? ---

Hi Micheal, Thanks for the quick reply. I just wanted to make sure the ESC controller at 5VDC could drive the two HPCB 6V motors. Its his first Battle bot project from this video [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/BvNRtRuOALw/maxresdefault.jpg "3D Print your own mini battlebot!

Dope 🙂 I’m a little concerned with your choice of regulator since it has a minimum input of 8V and your battery is 7.4V here’s our [step-down dc dc converter](https://core-electronics.com.au/power-batteries/regulators-and-converters/step-down.html) category to consider ---

Which is the better choice, change the battery or regulator? 1. Don’t change regulator. Just use a different battery at 11.1vDC [https://www.auselectronicsdirect.com.au/11.1v-450mah-lipo-3s-battery-pack-with-jst-connect](https://www.auselectronicsdirect.com.au/11.1v-450mah-lipo-3s-battery-pack-with-jst-connect) 2.

Any of those options look functional @Jon166537 - it’s up to you to define ‘best’. Maybe you need to optimise for weight, or keep the cost low. Battle bots are a multi-parameter problem and only you will know what ‘best’ means for you!
