Massacre - Build Diary

[harry hills]

Hi All,
Did some more on the battery mounting, added a bracket and some foam to protect it from shocks.




Also got the lid cut out and the hole for the pulley/bar to go through cut. The pulley is sitting about 4mm lower than it would normally because I just stuck it on there to show how it fitted through.



Bar got a coat of black paint, but the edges are kept bare, thanks to daveimi (I think) for the suggestion.




Still got lots to do. Hope it comes together ok. Cheers.

Looking gooooood! That bar looks like it will make a mess of most thing!

Its looking very solid - are we going to see a spin-up video?

[harry hills]

If I can get it to work, of course Pretty big if lol

Will you have to remove the bar to get the top cover off to change batteries etc. or will you have smaller removable panels?

[harry hills]

Yeah bar will come off.

Double post because reasons. Got the draw.

Massacre v Defector - EDIT, Hannibalito 4
Massacre v Drumroll 2 v Conker - Fun times if weapon works, bad times if not.
Endeavor v Defector v Massacre - My least favourite robot types (taking a guess at what defector is, flipper)
DB10 v No Toy v Massacre - Spinner and an axe. The axe could do some serious damage to me as thin top panel. Spinner could break stuff.

So I'm not particularly confident in my draws. Don't think I'll be qualifying this year but I'm so looking forward to the fights.

Defector is Hannibalito 4 under new ownership

[harry hills]

Oh I see, That makes sense, cheers

Yay
Battle of the newly milled aluminium spinning robots, plus I've got to make up for the damp squib that Drumroll was in our fight last year!
