whats wrong with speed 900s at 24volts and a 7-1 ratio gearbox?
How many speed 900s u got in there? Relentless will hopefully be on 24v with 4 speed 900s at 6:1 soon. I was runnin 4 speed 900s on 14.4v at Barnsley with electronize speedos:p
Its too fast to control, and theres 2 in there
Well Alpha has had a service, interesting that withought its front scoop (2.5Kg), it only weighs 9.7kg, hmmm.. what weapon could i fit with nearly 4kg, ideas?
Motor powered axe, electric lifter, something along that line :)
spinner alan
I like the Bingeing Witch :)
Similar naming method as used by a band back in my school days that were called the Mucking Fidgets :)
whats wrong with speed 900s at 24volts and a 7-1 ratio gearbox?
try 6-1 on 100mm wheels, now thats fun...
but im biased :)
4 speed 900s at 24v at 6-1 with 75mm wheels, that should be pretty nippy right?
uncontrollable more like
But it does pull nice full-body spins :)
Uncontrollable? That doesnt make a difference for me have you seen my driving? im never in controll.
have you seen Bonx before Tom? fats isnt a word when thats around
what speed does it do Tim?
Dont think iv seen Bonx.
BonX is stupidly fast.
Any vids or pics?
Hello every
Grant and i got back from the alps this weekend so thought id give you an update.
The run up to the event is going quite smooth, still plenty to do though! We may be changing the floor to 4mm hardox but this depends on our time.
We would also like to thank ALK Engineering who have kindly sponsored part of the prize by machining parts of the FRA trophy and donating an astroflight charger.
more updates to come soon!
brill news, i love that charger :)

Theres a video of BonX here Tom, but it doesnt do justice to its speed at all. Ive seen a video of it in combat somewhere, cant find it. Im sure if Tim gets round to posting hed have some footage, however hes probably not even reading this section. lol
Lol, Looks like Tanto Jr!
:)
Hardox floor, yeh :)
Tanto Jnr looks like BonX
oh cool... that makes things better !!!
As long as its perfectly flat so we can have blades scraping the floor !!!
When will we know if it is going to be hardox or not, so we can plan accordingly.... (give us enough notice please as it will change the design of my robot)
Not that im taking it too serious... im just going for the loudest ONE bang... after that the robot will probably be in a few pieces but it will be spectacular !!
Do RoboChallenge allow the 2% error on weight?
When are you doing the draw, before the event, or at the event?
Cheers
John
well, the maths say 24mph/39kmh...

doesnt seem to load up for me Tim
Jonno - we will not be allowing the 2% extra ontop of the 13.6kg. Our scales are extreamly accurate and 13.6kg is MORE than enough to play with :).
We should know about the floor in the next day or two, and yes - as always, our floor will be as flat as possible, so blades scraping the floor should be fine. Although remember there will always be small chunks taken out from spinners that you could always get caught on.
Competition format will be given tonight or tommorow, and the draw will be done friday.
you have quicktime installed?
Hi Tim! lol.
Cant wait for this event now. Hope JFT gets drawn against a spinner, itll be carnage :-)
Jonno, hornet is sitting at 13.3kg at the mo (just dont know what to do with it!) so I could always sell the extra 300g to the highest bidder :mrgreen:
ok ill buy it. . . Got the most friendliest spinner ever. . . No weight to put any blades on it. :-) whos idea was this anyway . . Im sticking to flippers in the future. :-)
nothing appera on the page when i try to load it i dont thunk i have quick time ill try and download see if it works then
finally jonno cant build robots to whatever weight limit he likes!:)
still doing the same thing Tim
@Jonno did you get my email?
Gary Wendy will outbid Jonno.A man of his standing in the community should stand aside for a Lady.:mrgreen:.
Currently 300g over weight and still crying in my garage every night. The neighbours must think that the wife has kicked me out.:sad:
