Featherweight Database

Yeah JH-Q has been pestering me with the progress (joking) of this bot for awhile now. I really like the use of the 24v dewalt and I would try this out if I hadnt had invested in my Ev Warrior and actuator collection lol.

Anyway good luck with the event and I hope that drive works fine for you, last time we spoke it was having some trouble steering but it looks like you may have sorted that out with the mini wheels.

Wish it could come to the Uk for a drum bot battle. All the best of luck for the weekend.

and updated pic on profile, i ripped that aluminium skirt off this robot at finals: http://www.robosota.fi/index.php?sivu=robotit&robo_id=90&toiminto=robottihttp://www.robosota.fi/index.php?siv...iminto=robotti i got it as a trophy, woooo! ill get a pic of bot internals probably this evening and upload video as soon as i have time to edit it.

got vids about the event: ftp://ftp.edome.net/media/robosota/Model%20Expo%2005ftp://ftp.edome.net/media/robosota/Model%20Expo%2005

its 61mb big for anyone with 56k

Wow just seen the video ... you have a killer there JH-Q

Youre right there - I dont mean to be heavy handed and all but I wouldnt want that robot running in that arena (note my use of inverted commas) anywhere near where I am.
Now Ive watched the rest of the vids I wouldnt want to be near it with any robot running in it PERIOD!

is it in an ice rink?

Its dam good though, well done on an impressive machine!

Karoline, luckily audience was behind 15mm polycarb/steel net at this event, bad thing was that roboteers didnt have that shield because it would have been too difficult to drive so far away. at next event audience doesnt have any shielding so i drop HCs rpm to 450. (and the weapon HAS a failsafe to prevent a runaway robot killing people)

JH-Q you have re-sparked my want to build a drum bot i have been drawing plans for ages and the result is .....Void.....

Ah I must have missed that bit on the video edit when you activated the failsafe, and removed the link before picking the robot up from the middle of the arena floor. BTW it was a very clear picture taken through the 10mm thick polycarb walls required for an arena to safely run spinners in the UK, but you are in Finland so perhaps it wasnt there.

BonX is ready

that 10mm 5083 doesnt work too well :s

i ended up refitting it with an IBC too in the end.

Just finished rebuilding DragonStrike Dragon 2 and Tiamat. DragonStrike is the spinner the only diference is that the top and bottom is now 3cm thick high impact plastic instead of 6mm Ali. Dragon 2 is now 4wd with 18v drill motors. The bottom is 4mm Ali the top is 4mm polycarb and 1.2mm Ti. The sides and rear are 2cm Nylon the front is 2cm Nylon and 1cm Ti. Tiamat is a full pressure Flipper (courtesy of Mario). The side armour is 2cm Nylon the rear is Polypro.

Just putting the final touches to DB5, the weapon should be done in the next week. When it is done will put a video on the web site, it should in theory have about 4KJ if I can get the speed up to 8000rpm. Looks like an Astroflight.

Just tested the disc on DS scary very scary

Having had no end of problems with microCHIPs drive motors Ive now gone with drill motors. Im fitting in a pair of James Coopers drill motors. So far so good. Ive also mounted the big pulley on the hardox disk. See profile pic
Rob

Looks very scary!

like the polycarb milled bulkheads

Soon we could have a rumble with only robots using Christians Hardox disks...!

MicroCHIPs looking very swish Rob, btw what was the drive motors ment to be before you changed to the drill motors.

Chris - ^_^

window motors Chris. They were heavy and hard to secure to a wheel and a bit slow.
Rob

Ah its all the best youve fitted some drill motors then. Im keeping an eye on the Team Whyachi and the cheaper BaneBots planetary gear motors but for the moment im sticking with my own modified drill gearboxes.

Chris - ^_^

Just getting the parts together for my next feather. drive 2 EV Warriors Just ordered a Sidewinder got some hardox for the front scoop rest of body 20mm nylon.

How did the HTI spinner do at XFM Colchester tony?

The disc worked great it cut a 1mm deep hole in my 4mm hardox on Dragon 2 with 1 hit. But he had drive proplems so did not do well spent most of the time trying to fix the drive. The HTIs worked great he controlled it with a 30amp Elextronize with external relays.
