Good call Jamie, originally the idea was to reduce the start load on the motors more mechanical advantage, will have a look and maybe some tests. Would also love to fight drumroll again if not grudge match maybe
Well that ruins my plans to armour my robot with Victoria's biscuit tins ;p
What's it like against 2.5mm stainless steel? No reason... Asking for a friend.
In all seriousness though, that looks pretty impressive! I bet it'll do a fair bit of damage at the champs!
Finished a few days early

Are you not worried a out the axe shaft bending with all those holes in it?
Some really lovely little details on there, excellent work
Agreed. Looks so clean and shiny too
Quick update another bad weekend with ceros this time lasted nearly 2 minutes in its first and only fight of the weekend. But at least that is twice as long as the last fight. flipper working fine but drive seemed very slow. Just worked out the gear ratio and the max speed should be 11.437 mph with no losses but looked a lot less then that as tr2/and mm were almost twice as fast in the arena. not sure if this is down too the huge gearbox and drive losses with the gokart wheels or the the wotty problems we had.
any ideas, thinking of reducing the ratio from 19.4:1 to about 16:1 therefore giving around 14mph
You put a tacho on the motors to make sure your getting full revs?
no but worth a shot if I could find a tacho or borrow one
