Jannas could you supply some information on yourself ...... Engineering experience ....Access to a machine shop ... Budget..etc
Engineering experience: I am a novice to engineering but I am studying Mechatronic engineering in scotland, I have little experience apart from making tools. I have access to a full machineshop should I need it and budget maximum is £3000 pounds.
Anything else you would like to know?
JG.
where abouts in scotland?
there are a couple of us up this way!
Inside leg measurement , hat size and weekly booze consumption....:)
I believe that the Weapon provides a stop to prevent the axle rotating ...the wheels torque reaction is transfered thru the weapon and onto the ground thus allowing drive.... reverse the motors and the weapon / axle performs an overhead arc.

If you have any questions about the feather axe-bot (deBiel) you can send me an e-mail. I can tell you that a lack of traction does not prevent the axe from smashing backward and forward. This is simply newton doing its job, the mass of the wheels with the motors providing torque agains the mass of the axe.
I will be competing in the Thialf event on 22-24 June, adding rubber to add traction. I hope it has a dramatic effect, although hopefully not on my speedcontrollers :)
The forces involved are quite nasty.

Hes not logged in for sometime.
did you collect all the magazines alistair? i did but glad i didnt pay for it- massive cost at the end of it all
No I stopped after the Formula 1 body kit , as it felt stupid paying for a body kit even though the robot wasnt finished
Gary, I am at Perth college. This is my chosen engineering project while other students chose easy way outs like a microwave or a plug. Robots interest me so I thought this would be a great project.
Hey I live in Montrose(probably never heard of it )
No, I cant say I have but Ive only been here for a year so you cannot blame me :)
