2012 FRA UK Featherweight Championships by RoboChallenge

[mightymouse]

Not built yet - decided to build a full pressure flipper that can take discs but the draw pits it agains't LS4 first fight so LS4 will be in top shape so bottled it and and have gone back to a spinner.

Spent 4 hours Saturday connecting a 90° gearbox to a motor only to find the motor was dud when finished.........

Think Ironside with teeth........6 of them at 3000rpm.........disc weighs 3kg atm but may need some weight loss.

Was going to use a pair of discs I built for series 5 on Velocrippa, they span in opposite directions at 6000rpm, got me on the show, they were evil. When testing them I threw a piece of metal at the blades at full speed and the metal broke a window in the garage........bit heavy though at 10kg

Would people be interested in Audio intros much like those on Robot Wars?

No one?

Made a quick mock up.

That sounds really cool, I'd love to have that as an intro!

[Ellis]

Those were cool! Felt some of the bot names were a little unclear (to unfamiliar ears at least) but otherwise they would certainly add a bit of snaz to the show.

Perhaps announcing team names would add to it. Built by Team X-Pat in M¡laga Spain - Tormenta!

[Eventorizon]

They sound great! Shame we cant get the bloke who did the original Robotwars ones to do it, but what ever you did to alter the sound has got it sounding close!

[PJ-27]

Thanks guys!

That was who I was modelling it on. Luckily I have a similar accent just not as deep.
I dropped the pitch and format on the Names by quite a bit, perhaps too much as with the sound underneath it can make them hard to hear.

Can RoboChallenge play these back if I make them up?

[RobotExtreme]

PJ-27, Excellent job. For seconds was motivating hear the name Galactus in the intro.

In answer at the question, Galactus uses an Turnigy brushless inrunner 1400Kv.

[PJ-27]

Thanks!

Galactus was one of the names that came out quite well.
