Nice one, sounds a pretty awesome name! Looking forward to seeing the machine with the axe mounts on it too - the axe is a lot chunkier than I thought it was, going to be a force to be reckoned with!
The axe is pretty beefy, all credit goes to Mario he did an amazing job on it, it won't be the fastest axe around but it's pretty heavy so it should hopefully be a good balance of speed and power
More work on the axe mounts today, still not quite finished i still need to cut some angles as is customary on this bot but here it is all fitted together,
Chunky! This is a really cool build. Love the angles!
By the sounds of things you don't have weight to worry about, may be worth adding a hardox wedge to the front that has a back plate you can bolt on to cover the whole of that front, gives spinners something to hit and if you get under people can give you a few more hits. Doesn't need to be overly large, just may help in both attack and defence
I was planning on adding a wedge to the front if the budget allows however hardox might be a bit too expensive for now so it will probably just be stainless
Hatchet is now all wired up and ready for a drive test, so once the batteries have finished charging expect a very bad one handed driving video
New video as promised, my driving really is awful at the moment http://s921.photobucket.com/user/mrs...c3e1b.mp4.html
Is there a mixer in the robot? It could also be a trim issue , since it went straight backwards. I've found with. 2WD robots that they go straight one way and often veer off the other way, hence Satanix having a Gyro.
No mixer in there and all the trim buttons are centered, I'll have a play around with them and if it still happens I can *just* get it to go straight with some fiddly driving
