Thread: Team Death - New Heavyweight

I have a few images from today, showing some of the damage.

When we arrrived, we were one of the first ones there, so plenty of table choice.

We believe the huge chunk out of this tyre was caused by the house robot. Although i'm not sure what happened to the other one that formed huge cracks. One thing for sure is, if we had gone with airfilled tyres, we'd have been out a bit quicker, and solid tyres seemed to go better here.

The welding came off the top of one of the spikes, unsure how, but it may have been the forces involved when the bot was flipped into the air and came back down with a thud.

A front on shot after the 2 fights, with the return springs from the jaws completely loose.

Overall, the bot maintain its shape, and to my knowledge, we only lost two parts, a bit of metal around the wheel protection, and the receiver batteries flew out, but they were not secured down to begin with. We'll try to get rid of the batteries and see if the ESC can power the transmitter, it should do anyway, with its own little 5V output.

It was a hugely fun day, and I'll certainly be eager to take part in another live event when the bot is fixed up and refitted somewhat. It also seems to have given me the itch to go out and make more bots...
