Team Eventorizon: Build Diary

Mouldy: you've said that, now the RX will crash and it ends up spinning and gyro- dancing on its own :P

[harry hills]

Kind of a pointless rule IMO, ring Grant / James and see what they think of the 60 second rule... i wouldnt fail a robot on tech check for it, and if there happy to run it at the event i dont see an issue.

We've had robot's with this in the past, particularly in featherweights a very free gearbox/bearings is essential so we won't be banning anything that can't spin down fast enough.

However, there are a few provision's that we take with robot's that do take longer to spin down and these will be discussed during tech check (Mouldy will be made aware of these, but it's nothing major).

Been through this before.

Also I'm happy with his link placement from a possible opponent's standpoint at least

Thank you harry, someone else is on my happy go lucky wave length this morning! But just to make sure I am printing a small cover, 6mm thick, solid fill ABS. Wont stop weapons but should at least lower the chance of a direct hit.

Time to buy a net gun:



You know you want to!

[Mouldy]

You bought a 3d printer then? I was more concerned that you had each wire for the link passing through a seperate drilled hole in the lid with no grommets etc

I have put as much electrical tape as I can on the cable. Yes, I aught to use grommets but you have to buy them in box's of 500 off RS and the tape worked well last time.

And no worries Dave, I know you meant well. That said I can't get an LED on the weapon side of the power system cos everything I have put in there has been cooked by the high voltage so I hope Binky wont get failed for that. Drive has an LED though so hopefully that is enough.

Simply put Alex no LED = failed tech check.

I was just raising a point. I was unaware they were ignoring the rules. Last thing I want is for you to get disqualified for it, that's all. Thinking of you Alex .

[harry hills]

Alex, didn't you print your own timing pulleys? How did that go?

Excellently! Great profile, stupidly lightweight, more compact and much stronger that I expected. I am hoping to give C3 its first drive today so I will let everyone know how they cope.
