Featherweight Database

humm.. really Conundrum came before Glen and co. but I wont admit its the first uk featherweight drum bot either. Its successor Conundrum Mk2 has a 2kg drum powered by an Ev Warrior, I tried going for bars at first but found they wasnt to my liking not enough damage and didnt really get the pop I wanted. No ive got four sets of sharp blades which are proving to be much better.

@Alistair : I was joking about the teeth, they are only facing the wrong way when the robot is inverted lol, if you look at the CAD then imagine the bot has been flipped over you should see there fine hehe!

Just a quick pic of the pile of parts lined up for Drumroll (minus the batts and drum):

Having just discovered that Technobots are shortly gonna be selling a new motor as a replacement for the feather gold, I might change to that to power the drum, because I dont see a friction drill motor cutting it in the arena much (perhaps in the cadet class but with Drumrolls chassis having hardox armour that kinda scuppers those plans)

DragonMaster
2 x 18v drill motors for drive.
1 24v 200w motors from tecnobots to drive the axe just geting the parts together. pic on profile.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y89/Flippt/Accident20075.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y89...ident20075.jpg

18V drive and 2400mAh NICD sub-C cells.
still Unsure if Ill use a Hammerdrill motor or not for the weapon.

Armour; 5&10mm HDPE.
Weapon: 180mm diameter Hardox 650 disc, about 1:2 ratio.
Numbers of screws: Over 60 of them!
weight: (In CAD) ~11kg
Other notes: Its invertable, needs wedges, and one of the few Swedish Featherweights.

Well was just about to rebuild DragonStrike. I will leave it as is now. It would have looked like pic on profile.

Latest pic of what hornet 2 will look like on profile.

Weapon - 2kg vert disc powered by a 3hp magmotor
armour - 4mm ali and 5mm polycarb
drive - 18v motors overvolted to 24v
speedos - electronize and a victor for the mag
weight - no idea

It will get built no matter if there is an arena to hold it or not. Obviously I dont battle as often as many others on here so it is not a huge concern to me. Then again I built swarm when there was no arena to hold it and was told I was mad. It was still accepted into the UK champs, just a shame it never span
