Hi everyone!
Im building a 6kg version of drumroll, because i love the design so much!
I cant make it exactly like original drumroll, because the lack of some materials, but i´ll try my best. Drum material was hardest to get so i got only a 50mm material it looks a bit small for the size. Drum has plastic endcaps and has 4bearings and 12mm shaft.

Looks like it's coming along nicely :)
I'd like to get an antweight Drumroll built and I've got motors that I could use for the drive and weapon of a middleweight Drumroll so all I need is a heavyweight one :lol:
Will be nice to see your version running; roll on the 2011 European Championships 8)
whats happening then ?Quote:

I seem to remember someone saying that European Championships would be held every four years, so I'm just assuming that there'll be another one in 2011. Could be wrong though; but the Eurochamps are the only place I've seen 6kg machines competing so it's where I would expect to perhaps see this mini Drumroll in action :)Quote:

6k u say whats the smallest co2 bottle around i need to find
The smallest is 3.5 ounces.
ok leo where do i get one of them then ? :)
3.5 oz CO2 bottles are paintball equipment so I'd try a paintballing shop (if such things exist)
They do exist and the cheapest place to find 3,5 oz bottles is on Ebay.Quote:

How do u fill co bottles? Is it possible with dry ice?!
No, you fill CO2 bottles with liquid CO2. It is basically decanting from one bottle into another. If you are not familiar with the process I suggest you attend live events where experienced roboteers can show you first. Do not try to do this on your own the first time it can be very dangerous.Quote:

Body part is a bit shorter now, cleaned up the wedge too!
Haven`t done the bigger drum yet, but gave some more volts to the weapon motor and the thing is crazy now. Log like in the video flyes 3-5m :lol: :proud:
Bigger drum is almost ready!! Added second motor too! I got a 4.5x2.5m arena almost built too!
Some pics later in evening. Miniroll is starting to look supernice with a bigger drum! :proud: :rofl:
Miniroll weights 5600g without the battery and drum teeth/bars - so It needs to loose a little weight somewhere. New sidepanels are cut out and holes are drilled, going to fit them soon.

looking cool, and im liking the use of your attic/loft for an arena - cool:)
Very nice Mart, the larger tube for the drum looks much better :)
And echo Calum's comments about the arena - it looks ace, and I love the location 8)
yh theres something cool about an attic arena lol makes me want to have one in my attic now
full combat attic arena would be well cool
Yeah I think it's kind of like the old school car park battles. Not battling in an arena in a venue in front of an audience, just battling where there's space and/or where a makeshift arena can be thrown together. A bit underground scene-esque.
Our loft's not big enough sadly to put something like this in it, plus I'm sure my parents would object to all the thumps coming through the ceiling :P
Hi, tested the miniroll drum without teeth.
With one motor, spin up is a bit slower but it has more speed.

The power of the drum seemed to be moving Miniroll forward
Miniroll is crazy!!!! Another video coming very soon! Somewhy i had LOTS of radio glitching. (need to try 2.4 ghz system.)

Haha, you have no idea how weird it is seeing what looks like my robot running about in the arena. It's looking much better now, good job Mart :)
And I still want my own attic arena :P
