Team Kaizen - The Honey Badger

[Ocracoke]

Here is a rough and ready proof of concept of the mechanism.



This fulfils the brief I want from a axe for The Honey Badger. I do have a concern about the amount of sweep the axe might have but I guess it will come down to how big the slot is and where the axe pivot point is in relation to the motor.

Excellent to see that something from 1850 still has a place in modern RobotWars

I'm still experimenting with bigger diameter drive wheel and longer arms for more thwacking and also the placement of the bar pivot. There are some other linkage mechanisms that work but are more complicated and then you run the risk of things breaking and being overly complex.
