Pride Fighter / Team Hunt - Build Diaries

[PrideFighter]

Thanks all!

Looking very neat, how light is it at the moment?

I'm not actually too sure... The scales we used to use for weighing these bots broke but we only just replaced them haha!
Hopefully I'll get a chance to go over such things this weekend. Although, we got an early Xmas present and treated ourselves to a 3D Printer, meaning the changes I wanna make will be quicker and more accessible for me to do.

Before I work too much more on AntAcid though I wanna order a mini brushless motor and an ESC to make a small drum spinner for it to give it more of a competitive edge. So stay tuned with that!

Wow, loads of great stuff in this thread! The beetle looks like it's coming along really well and look forward to seeing the ant finished.

Welcome back!

Cheers dude!

Speaking of the Beetle, not much in the way of an update but something I am still incredibly proud of:

So, I finally managed to get the weapon servo mounted after machining a mount for it out of a block of aluminium

Not bad for the kid who used to make his antweight robots out of Plasticard and Duct tape, eh?

While I am incredibly happy with how Unicorn: Alpha Fury is coming along, there's still quite a few bits I wanna change/update.

I wanna re-cut the top lid as it just doesn't quite sit right as I'd want it to. I'll also need to see how I'm doing weight wise, and if needs be change the side wheel guards from aluminium to some sort of plastic.

Now that we have the 3D Printer, I also wanna do some custom wheels for U:AF. I've already developed some nice hubs and tires fitting in with the team-robots aesthetic, now to get them printed haha!

I also need to get the front wedge welded up and attached to the bot, however the great British weather keeps me from doing this!

So that's all about I have in the way of updates for the time being...

Although, I did receive these in the post yesterday,

Middleweight, anyone?
