Team Saint Robot Builds

Over the week end I have been doing some bits on Cherub, all was going well until I tried to charge one of the battery packs, see if you can spot the problem

Terry who sold me the packs, was at pains several times to say there was a problem with one of the packs and supplied some spare cells for the repair, A good and honest man.

Some pictures of Cherub as it is now. I just have to do the rear armor upgrade to 5mm thick as 3mm the old one got bent!

Yep
Looks a little difficult to control,especially in a pit area. the idea of my one is you are standing up on it. and it moves with a serene effortless gliding motion. I might even put lights on it, I will get Ian from Team Shock to advise he is so good with subtle.

A double-edged compliment if ever I heard one!

Just knock-up a couple for transporting heavies about while you're about it and i'll buy you a pint.

it was originally designed as a powered trolley, i even have a tipper top for it

cant wait to see yours going it should easily shift more than 4 people as that mobility scooter axle/motor looks more powerful that the 1 i was using

I was thinking about this fight and wondered "What dose Saint have to do to win?" In this one we were judged 3rd.
I must now state I am not looking for sympathy or have some blood lust for the judges. So please no criticism of anyone!

I just want to know what we did wrong so we can work on improving our record regarding competition wins. any ideas welcome.

Or is it Saint is just a totally rubbish robot.

I had to do some modifications to the bulkhead on Cherub, and got to thinking how fast could I put it back together again?

The start just the chassis and the lifting arm assembly.

Then the weapon motor assembly and chain. 8min-54sec

Then the drive motors gearboxes wheels link and rear sub assembly. 8min-40sec
2013-07-06 11.22.06.jpg

Then Battery tray speed controller bracket and more wiring. 3min-12sec
2013-07-06 11.35.57.jpg

and then the radio receivers the rest of the wiring and BEC ready to go. 4min-51sec
2013-07-06 14.15.32.jpg 2013-07-06 14.15.20.jpg

So from chassis to robot 25min-37sec. and it worked!! is this a record??
