If you are worried about copying Last Rites directly, maybe think of improvements you could make, such as wheelguards, a rear wedge etc?
That drum spinner sounds brilliant! I'd be interested to see some designs or CAD's of that (or indeed any beetleweights so far)
Cheers. Harry.
thanks lol, but knowing me it won't end up being too effective :P
On RPM Tom used bolts before he machined a piece of hardox...worked well

alright, well I'll probably try using offset stainless steel bolts for teeth for now, and upgrade to hardox 450 teeth in the future

Oh and Harry, pretty rubbish powerpoint drawing of the robot, but you get the idea haha :P I will probably change the shape to try and make it a bit more unique.
I like it
How would you be changing the shape exactly? I'm guessing you would be making it more oval shaped, making the robot wider?
I have now settled on a design (can't remember if I said lol) Won't give away too much just yet but it should be a pretty powerful little machine.
well I'm planning to use a strip of HDPE and bending it around the robot to make the outer shape, i've not fully decided on what shape it will end up being but i'll try to make it as unique and spinner resistant as possible. The outer layer is really only to protect the wheels and look nice anyway :P
can you say what weapon you are planning on making? ;D
Ok, that sounds cool! I'll just say Eggbeater and leave the rest secrets for the time being
alright, I look forward to seeing it
Andy....www.bigconkers.com Eggbeater is no secret.
