Team Shadow: Ferrovore

[Danny B]

After running the old FW at a few events, we've decided to retire it due to a lack of compatible spares and the fact we were getting a little bored with a simple rammer. So we've decided to commit to a new FW, this time with an active weapon.

List of parts acquired so far:

• 2x Gimson GR02 motors
• 2x pairs of 125mm Banebots wheels
• 2x Botbitz 85A ESCs
• Plenty of 12V NiMH batteries
• 1x transmitter/receiver
• 1x Gimson GLA4000 linear actuator

The plan is to build a grabber/crusher robot, somewhat similar to Pitbull or Chompalot in terms of it's proportions. The steel for the top half of the jaw has already been machined(see the picture below), and the frame for the bottom half should be together in the next month or so.
