The Burgess Hill event

Thanks to Alan and all the Robots Live team for a great weekend.


The robots

Gabriel didn't shine much, the first fight it broke one of the drive motors and that was it's weekend! After taking the motor apart, it looks like the armature is damaged and has lost power I will have to get this fixed, also the drive on the other wheel has tightened up again! I will be looking at this problem too.
I have decided to replace both motors for new units this way I have a firm base to develop the transmission and ensure reliability. the old motors will get re wound in the future.

Saint went well had to tighten up a few bolts through the weekend, but it just kept going, I am going to do some maintenance on it. So far I have taken one drive out and striped it down. When it was built the stub axle was going to be welded to the main plate I suppose I will have to do that also the drive bearing on the transition shaft fails regularly so modifications to this is also in the pipeline.

Cherub as bad as it was last event, it was good this event, it was runner up! that's the best result Team Saint has had. no work really required here! I will just take off the lids and give a few bolts the spanner treatment.


Feathers Tron worked faultlessly shame about my driving.
Seraph one of the "new gearboxes" seized up I think it couldn't take the excitement, I will be taking that apart and reporting on the Team Saint build thread shortly. Haven't looked at Seraph will try to get it going for the next event if I can

Kettle Bot Worked fine hope to sort out the steam function soon.
will keep you up dated on that.
