these were originally 2 robots, 1 would have been with all the claw and everything running off 4 drill motors, and the base of the robot was a 6 wheel drive hardox box, but after some thought i know i'd get bored of the box and a 6 wheel drive set up would go well with the claw etc so i combined the 2 robots

8kg at the minute, thats batteries, motors and weapon etc etc, just need to finish the drive timing pullys and get them on and then its litterally ready for a drive about etc

after i've added other odds and sods i'll have about 4kg left for the rest of the armour once its all wired up and everything wana try get some hardox on the front cause i really wana take it to spinner events so we'll see as for a srimech im not sure it'd be worth bothering, because it's gonna be slow to self right so im not sure if it'd be worth it so think ill opt for an extremly low ground clearance

so far its gone through 8mm hdpe like its not even there, poly etc etc even crushes computer towers easily :) 200kg actuator so im not too sure whats at the tip but its quite alot i've spent the last few hours distroying dvd players and sterios with it lol

Looks beastly. Thought about swapping the actuator motor for a brushless?

I didnt know it was possible to acually love a robot but i think i do now!

on only reservations are that you need to be very accurate with the claw and in the world of flippers , with no self-righter, it might be very much 'drive, get flipped and wait to be righted again' fighting

that's looking awesome! what's the claw made of?

Could you have an Agent Orange sort of srimech arm pulled by a cable/chain from the claw closing or something like that?

Looks absolutely brilliant though, looking forward to seeing it finished :)

Something alone the lines of agent orange/chompalot self-righter would be a good idea and wont add too much weight either

thanks guys, all the bottom section is hardox, and the top claws 10mm ali its not even sharpened or anything yet and it just crushes anything i've had to try so far lol it's made so all the claw section comes out with 4 bolts, so i could mabye 1 day make a few different weapons if i wish.

and don't realy no anything about brushless motors so probabily not, but oneday i may do, see what happens

i just really wana take it to full combat events so i can cause real damage with it. Without sounding mean lol - robots like explosion or heat wave i think it is, all have 8mm hdpe armour or less and this just goes through that like its nothing so it'd look awesome sinking it into another robot, i bought lev 2 ages ago and thats got a 5mm poly top i crushed that and it just went right through and dislodged some old internal parts i just left in there. so could be really good seeing it crush and immobilise a robot :twisted:

as for a srimech i could do joey, think it's worth mabye having a play around with that idea :), gonna do some wiring today and have a play about with what parts i wana put where

Crushed a computer tower today, i did film it but it wants editing and i can't be bothered right now lol

crushed it like it was made out of paper, even went through the power supply pack, which i really didnt expect it to manage

Nice to see another robot builder going to download :)
