stuck for a design idea

[mattsdragons]

ive had a basic rammer, and something with claws (shame they were crap) but once ive got smidsy up and running im really wanting to build something with a good active weapon yet i really cant decide what too do

i was thinking of going down the crusher route again as ive really got a thing for them, but trying to make a crusher thats invertable AND will also crush either way up is a bit hard

im open to and suggestions as im really quite stuck for a design

[tweedermeister]

i'm building a crusher to but if you want it to be invertible i'd say go for a horizontal crusher because to get a verticle crusher to work invertible would be nearly impossible

[mattsdragons]

made a horizontal already with masses of design flaws

not sure if to try and re-build that to scrap it and make something different

[mattsdragons]

Any other ideas as after whitwick I'll be building for the champs

If it's for the champs then build a spinner

[mattsdragons]

Finding a disk that's a good weight is hard, but I would like to build a spinner, just cash would be the problem there

[typhoon_driver]

Then forget a disc and buy a stainless steel bar (first thing i came to searching ebay)

Drill it in the center and go to town. Job done.

Gary, you are a genius!

Spinner it is I guess

Got a spare pair of esc's, need a couple of motors and bar set up but it shouldn't be too hard to do in time

[RogueTwoRobots]

If you want a cheap motor, go for a car fan motor (Mondeos seem a good source). You can pick them up from car breaker's yards for £5 - £10 and they usually do around the 1hp mark. DragonStrike is the best example of putting one to use on a spinner.

And if you go for a bar, make sure to get the drill hole dead centre, otherwise you'll wobble yourself to jiggery!

Can I be a real pain and get someone to post a parts list and rough cost to make one?
