Decided to build something a bit more passive. No large KE weapon I'm afraid.

Flatpack is a 4wd 4 bar lifter which will be competing in the MMM competition in Germany.

Drive: 2x saturn-16 gearboxes with 775 motors
Weapon motor: 4240 sk3 brushless outrunner with a saturn-16 gearbox as the first stage of gearing.
Escs: 2x Tz85a botbitz 1x trackstar 150a
Batteries: 2x 2.25ah 5s Nanotech
Wheels: 2.5"x1.25" colsons with custom hubs
Frame: 5mm 304 stainless steel
Armour: 2mm and 5mm 304 stainless steel




first bit of design work. Rouging the layout to see what can fit where.



more in depth model work happening



Pretty much done here. It's not even close to being a full detailed model but I'll probably end up working arse backwards and redoing the CAD to be super detailed once the robot is complete.



Parts began to show up. I'll give you three guesses as to what this was and the first couple don't count.





Here you can see a motor mated to a wheel and a 3d printed timing pulley. I love having a printer. It gets way more use than I thought it would.



the weapon motor and how it mounts onto a the gearbox.
