Hey we made a brushless Ploughbot first! Lol
So you have seen the entry list, before the draw starts who do you think will be in the top ten?
Here's my guess -
Nst
Explosion
Vortex
B2
Drumroll
Lf3
Galactus
Tiny Toon
Ls4
Predator ... Possibly?
NST,
Boner,
Satanix,
Predator (easy heat - see Venom 2012),
Tormenta,
Rip off,
Cobalt,
Tiny Toon,
Inertia XL
Explosion FTW
Name: Robob
Weight: 13.5kg (I think, really should weigh it)
Drive: four Argos drill sets, 24:1 gearing with gimson 18v motors running at 6s
Weapon: none, just a simple parallelogram inevitable wedge
Armour and Chassis: fully welded 5mm steel front, back and sides. 3mm steel top and bottom
Notes: is my first champs, just plan to survive and come home intact :?
Do the Gimson motors just replace the Argos ones? I assumed the Argos motors would have some bizarre standard of pinion gear.
I also assumed they would have a 36:1 gearatio.
Yup! You use the spare parts that gimson robotics offer to change the ratio from 36:1 to 24:1. All the motors on sale should fit too.
Ah ok, so the only thing that remains from argos is the plastic housing.
The plastic housing, axle bit, 2nd stage gears and sun gear. Basically your chaging the motor, pinion, first stage gears and gear carrier.
Ooh that's good to know. First stage on my 18v drills are plastic so looks like I should be able to swap them out and get a more desirable gear ratio.
If anyone missed out of the champs please do let me know so we can add you to the reserves list. Most importantly if anyone will need to pull out please let me know asap as there are teams really wanting a place. We currently have to find a space for Turisas as their entry didnt come through until after sign ups closed.
The current reserves list is -
Shane Swan
Push n Shove
James,
Did the entry form have a space for the names of team members or how many we are bringing along?
Yes it did Dan, do you need to make changes?
When would you be doing the draw james ??????
Shane (team tilly)
within the next 2 weeks.
James did I have the girlfriend down as an additional member of my eh team?
With 3 robots trying to get in? Just increase the size of the champs by 3 spaces!Quote:

I can say I will be at the champs with the weapon I will use for my new robot but added to another current featherweight robot. So I will be part of a new team. I will confirm with my partner this weekend and let you know James. For now.... the robot my weapon will be mounted to is already on the list so no worries. :)
Uh-oh :uhoh:
Whats the rule for the pit at the champs? Once your in your out? or 10 seconds to get out?
I'm hoping its 10 seconds.
Ken Block Style?Quote:

From memory, I think you have to be there for 8am. not too sure whether you can leave your stuff there over night.
well i was just wandering if anyone does leave bots and equipment
Time for loading is between 8:00 & 8:40.
8:40 is the safety briefing.
You are meant to take your machine away with you after 18:15 but I have seen equipment locked into the arena. Bulletproof arena with vault doors - good luck burgling that!
okey dokey will have to work out a way of cramming it all in the boot then lol should have gone for a bigger car than a punto
Nothing an adjustable spanner can't handle 8)Quote:
