Well yes but in those situations the robot is constantly attacking. If you hit the side of the box, the teeth may go through but I'd assume you'd stop at that point and if the robot is out of control, just place the box on some grass and move back.
They are. Imagine a heavy using a 50 Kw motor to drive a 1.4m diameter 35 kg spinning bar. That is the comparisation in powerlevels.Originally Posted by typhoon_driver
For a simple battlebox, you need a m² square of sturdy multiplex or simular, 350 to 450mm high 5mm thick polycarbonate walls and a polycarbonate roof.
That's roughly £160 on polycarb put together with some ali L-section and a lot of bolts.
That may be so but if it's only for testing as per original post then I don't see an issue. Worst case have a large sledge hammer to hand
i said to use a large tuppawear box if its just for testing but aparantly its now for fights
is 5mm polycarb not way over the top? Surely 2mm would be more than enough?
With the amount of flex in a panel that big 2mm should barely get scratched. Much cheaper too.
2-3mm is an option for the roof, but then you'll need some external supports, or it will sag , and not a little bit.
I have a rather large dent/cut in some 1.5mm titanium on my ant I would definately say 2mm is way to thin against todays spinners.
It all depends on whether the ants can hit the walls directly or not. You'll need 4-5mm polycarb if they can and less if they can't.
if it's for fighting then weld/bolt together some 2 or 3mm steel sheeting to form a tray 20mm high then cover the top with some 2 or 3mm poly, job done.
thanks!
