At thinktank i will definately be bringing KAHN (which i could of posted in build pics of as it has no weakspots!)and also Prodigy evo a fw spinner with a 3kg disk. dont think i will bring anymore than 2!
No weakspots eh?! Sounds like a challenge
Sounds like unsinkable, like they said about Titanic.
Jamie, have posted pics of kahn at http://www.freewebs.com/teamtronic/http://www.freewebs.com/teamtronic/
now you must tell me any weaknesses you see!LOL
use the links on the left, i havent finished building the site yet but some pics on their
Barts butt - thats the weakspot!!
(Ok so it could be one of the strongest points on your bot but itll give me something for target practice when it comes to aiming and closing the crushing arm - I was hopeless with it on the prototype!)
Otherwise, looks a solid construction with minimal weakspots
I guess Ill just have to keep my fingers crossed that one of the wires comes loose
Is it a welded box-section chassis with the HDPE bolted on to that? Hard to distinguish between the different parts of black
the sticker was my daugheters idea. i gave her some money when she went to town with my wife to buy something for the robot, i thought she would come back with a little tool box or something, but instead came back with some stickers and sweets? which reminds me where did my change go? lol,
yeah its welded box section on the sides and back, with 15mm hdpe. 6mm mild steel over the front scoop, with box section inserts for extra strength. 10mm hdpe lid, 3mm stainless chassis plate, decided to go with 9.6v motors instead of the 18v, and running these on 2x 8.4v 3700 mah nimh packs, its seems a fast little thing, and wont need charging inbetween fights which is good as it will leave me more time to concentrate on mine.
i have learnt my lessons on loose wires and hopefully that will be ok now.im a bit concerned about the ground clearance so hoping its a nice flat floor at events, as this thing quite literally skims the floor and being 2wd i can see it beaching itself if not careful. the only thing she needs now is some whiteboards to learn to drive and fight, and to get her away from the habit of driving near the pit when its open!
same batteries as in psycho fling, difference being i use 3 of them powering 18volt motors
Im thinking of building a simple clusterbot............just incase axeadent isnt ready for thinktank.................
cutting some polycarb for the cluster bot over the weekend, i have different thicknesses to cut between 5mm-10mm, i know you need to keep the speed down to stop it melting, what blade should i use in my jigsaw? does it matter? i have metal and wood cutting blades.
Wood. Metal blades are far to fine.
