Oooh! I had never noticed that. Here's hoping!
Dad just came home with 5mm chopping board for our top plates. The whole robot is made from varying thicknesses. Are we the only robot to have been made entirely from chopping boards?

Mine was going to be all HDPE but I've got enough weight left to add a 3mm steel band around the sides
That's not Inertia XL, that's just a completely different robot!?
The chances are I will be using an anti-spinner device this year for fighting NST however it has changed a little bit this year :twisted:

Please excuse my driving; I can't get it to go in a straight line safely in the house, haha. It's (oddly) quite hard to control at low speeds.
So, lifter is more or less complete. Let us know what you think!
Armour next. :)
think it looks pretty awsome
That's awsome!
I really like the design of it, 4-bar electric lifter, dont think thats been done before, have to see how it fairs at the champs, cant wait to fight it
Your using Electronize right? Turn down the rate on them, it'll give you more low end control. That should help.
Just watched the vid, very impressed with how nippy it is, especially on those drill batteries.
It's a very good first robot, that lifter mech looks very sound.
Thought storm 2 was made in to a 4 bar lifter?Quote:
