bonecrusher- the first bw from Suvv Industries Robotics devision

[suvv]

i figured now that i have ordered some essential parts like the motors and other few bits i should do the fashionable thing and start a build diary so without further ado...

it begins!!!!!

the design is very simple as its my first one but will hopefully prove effective,6wd pusher though i prefer "full body hammer"
so far my doodles are looking very effective when i get a design on computer that looks like i want it too i will get it up on this so that people can laugh/cry/question what im doing.

im optimistic that if i get all the bits together i can get it down to an event sometime and issue some hurt on people and if this all works i will dive head first into a fw

next thing i should be posting up will be the cardboard mock up i will be making at the weekend

little update stuck waiting on the the batteries from hobby king

[suvv]

not that i have the majority of the bigger components and i will get the speed controllers once i have money again i decided to build my first prototype to get an idea of size and what space i will have etc 2 things that i have discovered are:

1: the battery i got is a little bigger than it looks sat on my desk

2:if i want to have the modular weapons system of interchangeable types of scoop/battering ram i may have to tweak the mounting system as i don't think 4 bolts will be as strong as i hoped

need to get more wire and hopefully will be able to order the esc's soon along with the hdpe sheets so as i can start to create the beast for real

i will point out the pink duck tape will not be used as much on the final bot....hopefully

Battery is way to big, you can drop that down to a 800mAh with no issues at all. I know this cos that is the battery I fight got for Anvil.
Aside from that, it looks good. Are you going for all wheel drive with 6 motors or are those middle wheels going to just be free spinning?

[suvv]

yer i didnt realise the dimensions of the battery untill i actually started to do the mock up sounds sill but noob mistake also im compensating slightly for the lack of proper weapon, it will be 6 wheel drive as im going for the full body hammer style bot if i could get the mechanics to work at the scale id so a miniature replica of storm 2 as its my alltime favourite but im neither skilled nor equiped tobuild somthing like that just yet mabey a few bots down the line

[suvv]

well thats all the bits ordered and paid for got a few days off next week so looking forward to getting some proper building done on the bot next week so wil have pics up and if i ever figure oout how to do it some video of it running

[daveimi]

This will be really good. Are you sticking with the 6x6 or going to move to 4x4? I also bought a massive battery but it'll be fine lol I only have 2wd.

[suvv]

6wd mate i havent the skill to build a good active weapon yet so im following team storms mantra and making the whole bot the weapon

[daveimi]

Struth 6wd is a lot of motors in 1.5kg!

[suvv]

yup im bracing myself to be closer to the weight limit than i would like but the battery and motors together comes to 713 grams so im only half way and the rest is either plastic or neoprene and i allways have the option to drop battery size if it is an issue
