Corrupt Canine

Hello All,

I am from the U.S. where we have been competing with 150g bots for only about 2 years. One of my latest ants won a championship, but it was a pusher so I decided to rebuild it.

New Stats
2- 76:1 Sanyo Micro motors
2- 7.4 145mah Kokams in series
1- Carbon fiber frame and panneling
1- 40 gram aluminum drum with titanium teeth(geared 3.5:1)
1- Plasma Dash 6 amp speed 130 motor for weapon
4- 1.125 inch urethane wheels connected via rubber bands and groove lathed into the wheels.
1- 3 gram micro receiver
1- Barello Ant 150 ESC for weapon and drive

All of the parts except for the receiver have been collected and construction should start this week. I expect this to be a powerful 150g bot, and hope I can come to the UK to compete in the future. I will be posting my progress and pictures here as I have them.

sorry out of habbit

This is a 150g UK antweight. I know about most of the 150g bots from the UK, but most are from old, non updated sites.

Received the sanyos and drum yesterday. Milled the endcaps and its almost time to work on the frame.

awsome :D
do you have a website or and pics or progress?

i know wat u mean bot sites are bad for updating ive just updated mine so its all uptodate

I will have pics by the end of this week, I have most of the parts, but the frame is being milled in Alabama, and I wont have it for at least another week.

Dan

looking at the specs again your ant is similar to the one im bulding (mutiny) other then ill be running on 12.6v and im using a nc-4 stinger motor and the elec specs are dif but the ideas are very similar.
woudl be great for you to come over to the uk. compete in a world series. would nice to get some of you guys over for one.
what is your drum like? is it a drumlette?

No, it is an actual drum like Solaris, or Helios. Dereks bots are amazing and he is a great guy to learn from. he has a new 1 pound antweight named Poundcake that uses a similar design concept.(Drumlette)

I was interested in the NC Stinger motor, but they arent availiable here, and Im not sure if they can safely be run at 14.8v.

Dan

There designed to run at 14.4v so I am guessing 0.4 of a volt wont affect them too much

yeh pounndcake was my insperation as well =D its not new tho. go to robots:

Well, it had its debut competition this past January at MURC RMRS so its not that old.

Rebel is one awesome UK ant. I was very impressed in the videos I have seen. The cad for the weapon assembly looks very nice.

Is there an online vendor for this NC 4 Stinger motor, and what is the amp draw? Thanks

Dan

im not to sure i will ask scott (hes jsut gone offline) as he can cad one up. he also has one so knows all the specs.
thnx for comments on rebel :)

I get my stingers from http://www.pendleslotracing.co.uk/http://www.pendleslotracing.co.uk/
Off load they draw about 300mA but with the discs on MilitANT and CombatANT they draw 2- 3 amps at 12.6V. I have just located and ordered a brushless motor that claims to do 54,000 revs as opposed to the 29,000 of the stinger. It will probably make the robot uncontrollable but I just had to have one to try.

hehe spect it will a be several gramms heavier as well peter which will mean a lighter disc... i was thinking of getting a brushless motor but with weight u dont really need it.
looking forward to seeing what you create with it peter :)

These motors look impressive. They might be a little much for the 145mah Kokams though. I will test with the 12v motor I have, and upgrade if it seems possible.

Frame is being milled later than expected, the CNC machine is being moved to Minnesota, so the frame wont be milled until July 1st. I am almsot done with the drum though.

Dan

You are probably correct about the 145mah Kokams
I use the 350 size cells.
