Team Shakesc : Build Diary

[shakesc]

Many things have got in the way of getting the bot this far

Finally took it for a test drive tonight.

Not quite finished yet. On temporary wheels and tyres which are rock hard. Strange though, they do wear quickly

It will need magnets in the arena thats for sure. Comes in at 11.6 Kg. Weight left for scope, side panels, lid and a few electrons for the battery
Have a lifter assembly if I can squeeze the weight to replace the scoop

The other thing I have been working on is a heavyweight Spur 4

Made up 4 drive pods using contact wheels, 6368 motors

They use HTD5 belt and mod 2 gearing. This allows me to get the packaging I wanted




Did a test of one fully assembled. Seems fine and no real load. The TZ85 survived (I will be using focbox ESC in the bot]
