That's very awesome indeed, nice work

We need to make ourselves an electric axe for ScotBot demos

Got most of the parts needed, so could be done. I'm still dreaming of making a Bosch 400 powered axe robot but that'll take much more development. A Speed 900 or drill motor driven axe, on the other hand, is more achievable - once I've scored 'build arena walls' off my to-do list

What mixer are you using for the drive? It looks to me that its slower forwards than when turning, which happens with some mixers, some will knock off 40% off the forwards/backwards.

mixing using my dx6i handset no mixer within robot, but i agree does seem slow
might try my 2x10 sabertooth to speed check

[blazerbotics]

turn it off of the TX, you will find it goes quicker.

3 version this final version has plastic 10mm base not 3mm stainless, large cim 21v axe motors have been replaced with large 750 mfa motors( 41w quoted but are loads bigger and better built then drill motors must be quoted at no load ? )

12v drill motor drive
100mm robo whells
4.1 mfa axe motors
30 amp electronize axe controller
2 x cheap ebay drive contoller ( replacing with spare sabertooth 2x10
3700 12v batt
ar500 spektrum reciever
carbide tipped axe from joy minning cutter
15mm side armour
3mm stainless wheel armour and axe support

axe assy alone weights nearly 4kg (no motors or frame included)

weight was the biggest problem all the way whilst building, some test as shown look good, robot does self right

any one near by bingham notts for a bash around to try out its electronics in pushing etc

please comment thanks adam

No toy still lives, axe and mounting all fully repaired after drumroll2 and ls4 had there way, all good fun just about to start running tests with the axe motor assembly.currently run at 12v but ratde to 18v so three tests
12v power ,speed and axe time
14.8v " "
22.2v ""

hoping to keep same axe assembly and motors just use more volts
