[calumco]

[Mouldy]

my dribble or westons dribble? Mines non conductive so its all good... Ill just leave the armor on in the pits..

Did think of putting a cover on it... but a) carnt be bothered b) there's no real point.

I think your going to have a tough battle with Beauty 2 and Toonimator.

[RogueTwoRobots]

Yeah I was impressed at the damage inflicted on your arena walls by Toonimator last year. I don't know if it was because the arena walls couldn't go anywhere (whereas a 13.6kg opponent will remove some of the sting of the weapon by being thrown away) but it's one I'm keeping my eye on.

360 turns quite nicely so could probably avoid taking damage to the more vulnerable parts of the robot, but then its unpredictability when it's gyro-dancing could see it accidentally hit Toonimator's disc with the rear of the robot. Having said that, with the magnet there will be less of the gyro-dancing so we could get a nice disc-on-disc moment. Definitely one to get on video - go Dave

toonimater what robots that?
the old beauty that the toon guys have? or is that stagefright

bin while since my last event im out the loop lol

[RogueTwoRobots]

That's Stagefright. The Toonimator is a spinner with one of those hardox discs, powered by a car fan motor (I think). T'was built by El Presidente and was at the tag champs last year (and took aforementioned chunks out of the arena) but had problems with the failsafes so it didn't run.

Got this pic of it from Barnsley:

I just love how the front bit is made out of wood. Not the most common of spinner structure materials.

Sorry Dave, you can have your thread back now

[Mouldy]

got a few more parts now for my new one.. ordered bearings, just gota get around to ordering belts and pulleys then thats pretty much everything.

Going to keep this one under the bench for full combat events as id rather enter 360 (even though this one will probably be better)- ill just keep it for whiteboards / when 360 breaks lol

[Mouldy]

Final cad-

Just waiting for the pulleys to turn up from technobots then work can start

[calumco]

thats looking nice davindra

u folding the ti to go up at the back?

u leaving 'calum is awsome' on the ti or u gonna remove it lol

[Mouldy]

Not been on here much recently, not done anything on robots in months either, but me and ed did a bit yesterday, base should be finished soon, axles are done, just the wheels to machine, sort out the position of the motors and bearing blocks to make then i should have a rolling chassis.
