Tashic's Robots
Since I'm starting a new antweight and finishing my first fw, I decided to make one thread for all my works.
This are the antweight that I made (some are dismantled or modified):

Thanks Harry!
Some updates:
This is the antweight that I was working on for some days:
Attachment 4482Attachment 4483Attachment 4484Attachment 4485
Made from brass rods welded with solder and bolted 0.5mm alluminium plates.
The green stuff in the wheels are rubber bands for added traction.
plus, I put in this robot the name on the top:
Attachment 4486
Yes it's called stormer 2.1
It's inspired by another robot.I let you guess which one.
and something that I did a while ago just for the look:
Attachment 4488Attachment 4490
and last I bought 2 red leds for the featherweight, witch I will call Black Wood, for obvious reasons.

And I did a little drive in a basketball field near my home.
There was broken glass, so the scoop got some paint removed.

I think that I can consider this robot finished, as I dont plan to modify it.
For the second featherweight I plan to make a 4wd robot with a hammer.
Would a starter motor from a small car or a motorbike work for a hammer?
Thanks in advance.

Starter motors tend to suck a lot of current so they may not be much use. Scooter motors seem popular. Paint job is sick and the name is cool too!

Thanks Harry!
I finaly got a video of Black Wood running, slowly because the batteries were low. I'm charging them now and tomorrow I will get the real video.

I'm driving and my dad (that helped me building the robot) is filming.

Here's the video fully charged:

Now here's the things to improve for the next FW:
Better reliability using speed controllers, add a weapon, make better wheels, have 4wd, better materials and a better battery.
-
Scooter motors work great for axes/hammers, my robot Hatchet uses a 300w scooter motor which swings a 1.5kg axe with no trouble at all

Thanks for the info Mrsam.
I almost finished my ant, it just needs the side pannels, but I want curved in a strange way to fit this:
Attachment 4524Attachment 4525
Is there a way to curve 0.5mm thick in this shape?
EDIT:
My dad accidentaly found this site http://www.titalia.it/en that sells and cuts titanium.
We don't know the price yet, but what would be a good thickness for a featherweight and a good price (of example a 1mX1m sheet of that thickness)?
-
Today I have contacted titalia and they recomended the grade 5 for a 4mm sheet.
What do you think? What thikness and type of titanium is better?
Thanks in advance!
