RogueTwo Robots Sale

Hi guys,

Got a few things either taking up space or unwanted/unneeded, hasn€™t quite been as big a clearout as I was hoping for, but may find more stuff over time.

Please buy Tom's crap before buying mine, he's selling way better stuff :rofl:

First up is the mini Typhoon Rover chassis. Gary made this for the UK Robotic Games in 2006, before I bought it and turned it into €˜Bullseye€™ for my dad to drive at events. After an abysmal combat record, I rebuilt the chassis from 8mm and 12mm polypropylene and renamed it simply €˜Rover€™. It€™s not really designed for full-on featherweight combat and only weighs around 6kg with everything in it, but it would work well as a display/demo robot and something to practice driving. It has drill mounts but no motors or wheels, but they€™re cheap enough and easy enough to add these days.

Includes:

One set of HDPE motor mounts (from the old €˜UK Robotics€™ motor mounts) for two motors.
Two Futaba servos fitted with microswitches, to provide non-proportional €˜bang-bang€™ speed control.
Two 8.4V drill battery packs, roughly 1Ah. Fitted with Deans connectors.
Wiring, LED and removable link (Deans).

As mentioned, the chassis is 8mm polypro sides, 12mm polypro front and rear bulkheads, and the silver grey football guides and front nose bit are just wood. Top armour is, I believe, a road-sign picked up by Gary during a night out?

Open to offers.

----------------------------------

Next up is my fleaweight, Kiss My Asimov. Thrown together in a couple of hours, and competed at the 35th Antweight World Series.

Here is a video of it taking out a three-way clusterbot (very, very, very slowly):

Specs:
Electronize case body/chassis
1mm polycarb front wedge and side armour
2 x Tower Pro SG-50 servos, onto small plastic wheels (Chaos 2 pullback) with rubber attached. The servos are quite slow but could be speed hacked to make the robot pretty nippy.
A 6-channel DSM2 compatible €˜Orange€™ receiver, minus case.
A 4.8V, 120mAh (I think) battery pack.
No transmitter included. Any DSM2 Tx (DX6i, E-Flite etc) should do.

Open to offers.

Got a few more bits and bobs that I€™ll list later.

Stop selling stuff i want people to buy my crap lol

hmmm, well i always need more crap :)

Don't worry, your crap's better than my crap.

Put that on your first post in bold please so its official. somthing along the lines of Please buy toms crap before buying mine, hes selling way better stuff

Done :)

My proudest moment in antweight robotics there Jamie :lol:

Oh yeah, I forgot you were driving Asimov in the main event. And there was me thinking I'd done quite well knocking all three robots out :lol:

Haha yeah, that was a boring fight even for me driving it. I thought your very, very, very slowly comment was aimed at being a dig :lol:

Nah that was me just describing its lightning F1-style acceleration capabilities :lol:

Rover sold.

bugger, might have bought that back, dam me and my early nights out here in the north sea!!!

Hokey-cokey, time to list more stuff.

CO2 regulator with gauges. Came with a bunch of pneumatic stuff I bought but is too big and heavy for a featherweight. Weighs 1.23kg. May be of use to someone. The going rate on eBay seems to be around £30 so I'd be looking for around that (P&P included)

A pneumatic ram, made of steel. Quite a small one, 50mm stroke, roughly 30-35mm bore. Again came with a bunch of low-pressure pneumatic stuff, but I think this might be suitable for full-pressure. Don't quote me on that though, I'm advertising this as low-pressure only. Weighs 2.15kg with the mounting pivots at the back. Comes with 10mm push-fit connectors (again, not sure on their full pressure suitability). Open to offers.

The old favourite, drill battery packs. Made up into two lots of 8.4V and two lots of 9.6V. I bought these for testing purposes but have never used them and they're just taking up space. Free to a good home (just pay P&P). If there's no interest, I'll just recycle them:

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...m/DSCN6308.jpg

Anderson removable link (50A rating I think). Used to use these in featherweights but have been using Deans for years now. Good for FW right up to HW. £5 including P&P:

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...m/DSCN6310.jpg

And finally, an aluminium drum. 3 outer diameter, about 250mm long. Weighs 1.25kg. Has steel endcaps and space in each to take a standard 17mm ball bearing unit. I got this free from Dave Moulds in the run-up to the 2010 UK champs but never used it. As such, Dave you can have first refusal if you want it back. If not, I'll sell it for just the cost of P&P:

So:
Regulator - £30 (inc P&P)
Ram - Open to offers
Batteries - Just P&P
Link - £5 (inc P&P)
Drum - Just P&P (if Dave doesn't want it back)

if dave dont want it, ill have the drum and links

I've got no use for it Jamie but id rather it went to someone who was going to use it... not just take it because its free and they like buying everything that comes up on here...

i planned on assembling the stuff for a future drum spinner but if thats the case and its ok with jamie ill just take the link then

PM'd

if only i saw it earlyer, been wanting a spinner :cry:

Matt, it seems you have enough future projects to get on with before a drum spinner.

Understandable

Best to see it go to someone who will use it sooner than me

Drum gone.
Link gone (pending payment)

I'll take the batteries, ( I need them for my featherweight build )
