And I can think of quite a few things to write on the underside of your robot, every pun and reference is worse than the last.
No its because I haven't stuck a ruler under it when its fully together yet so I can only approximate. Having a weapon that changes height depending how tight the bolts are doesn't sound like a good thing at all.
Looking forward to fighting it - twice
Ah, ok, that's good. I wondered if you have built in a way of tilting it forwards to hit lower opponents given you are using a belt drive, you could engineer that in at a later date.
Wouldn't angling the blade make it fly?
Not like thats a bad thing tho
I am referring to its plane of rotation rather than tilting the blades themselves. If you were to tilt the blade by bending it then yes, in theory, it could produce lift, but not enough to get it airborne in any meaningful.
Sorry about that, I didnt quite get what you meant
In what universe would that be a good thing!?
And nope, no tilted bars for me, I'm not over keen on the idea. If I wanted a low bar height I'd have built an undercutter. Anyway, unless this robot totally fails I probably will be leaving the overhead style for the next one.
If the trailing edge of the blade was tilted up you would suck the bot onto the floor for more traction
A parallel universe where fighting robots fly?
