Sadly not, since most is still only in my head, and the last internal parts (brushless motor + esc for the weapon) just arrived today, so i could only estimate the rest. will start to build a rough design, maybe a wooden frame first to get a better view of what i'm doing and what i need this weekend, or at least hope i'll find the time for it.
My drawings are horrible, and learning cad from zero to bot seemed a bit overkill for the first bot. I know myself good enough i'd tinker forever with that stuff instead of actually building anything.
Basically it's a wedge shape, with a beater on the "back" of the wedge. symmetry no matter if it's on the right side or back, titanium top/bottom plate, HDPE sides (possibly... seemed to be a good idea since i can't wield anything bigger than 10cm and could just screw everything into the HDPE, and it gets back into original form after a hit instead of getting bent. Also replacing a flat sheet of HDPE on each side, with just cutting it into the right shape and drilling some holes in seemed easy replacable. Maybe i should change that, just don't know what else to take instead.) inner frame from thinner plastic just to give every bit a place, a bit like a honeycomb structure with pockets for motors, esc, battery and stuff like that to help the top/bottom plate withstand big hits from hammerbots or maybe even crushers. Two wheels, direct drive on Neptune-28 from ranglebox, getting through both top and bottom plate (but only just). And a third contact to the floor somewhere close to the Weapon, maybe a wedgelet, but i'll take care of that last, i think.
