Wow! Thank you for the very high praise :D
Yes, FeatherDozer (I still hate the name) would probably be better as a low, 4WD lifter, but I wanted a design as compact as possible and look a bit...
I'm really impressed by the creativity of this design. Usually the "way" to make a pushing robot is 4 wheel drive or a low angled wedge. I've seen Featherdozer fight in several videos and been...
Hey Theo! Look forward to seeing your projects unfold over hopefully not that many months, and getting duffed up at Robodojo by the results later this year.
As for your historical "bodged" robots,...
Hi Theo
When I first started reading your post I thought Oh No ! another Roboteer throwing in the towel but
then I read on and found quite the opposite.
You are a great ambassador for the fighting...
Good evening all!
Feels like ages since I've done a full write-up, but here we go!
I think it goes without saying that 2020 has been a little bit of a bust for all of us robot people. With...
And found out a hundred or so things that I’ll definitely be doing differently for the next one 😂
definitely makes the stress of not knowing things/ doing things wrong worth it at the end!

Fixes & Changes
First item on the agenda post event 2 was to fix all areas of damage. The notable areas for repair included:
Axe damage to arm & self-righter brackets (superficial)
Axe damage...
Hi Lucy,
I use a similar method as I knew I did not need to flash as often and I did not want a lot of random wires poking out. I will give a check this evening on my firewall settings and see...
No worries ;) I have a USBAsp with a stamper pad on it for flashing so I don't need to solder the connections as Robert has to.
I have been able to download it before, it isn't being blocked...
Okay.
After digging out my old windows 7 laptop, I managed to find the program used to flash the F80 escs (KKmulticopter). Unfortunately the file used is not there (sorry :() plus the program...
Thanks Brandan :),
The inspiration came from wanting to build an overhead sawbot (which I still want to do but there are already 2 feather sawbots in the UK). So the front end kind of comes from...
Hi Lucy,
Thanks once again for the complements! I basically followed the configuration that Robert Cowan used in his SimonK flashing tutorial video as I was relatively new to esc modification (I...
I love the look of this, soooooo much better than what I am coming out with at the moment, gonna have to up my building game with Azriel 2.0.
You mentioned F80 speed controllers with SimonK...
Thanks Andrew (from a reply earlier in this thread),
When we are able to get back to fighting safely, I look forward to hopefully getting a chance to fight the glorious toaster :)
PS sorry I...
Event 2 - Robodojo 26/09/20
Confident in at least one of my modifications, I headed back up to Leeds for another dose of addictive, intense fun!
As before I will go over some of the...
Hi all,
Hope everyone is well.
I have an old 18v battery drill. The motor is running fine but the battery is now obsolete, therefore if anyone can use it, you can have it as long as you pay...
