360 - mini hypnodisc

[Gabe01]

I can't wait to see it drive, just to check out how the drum effects it. I must say that it's beautiful in its simplistic form. Will you be leaving the wheels unprotected? Could you give us some dimensions

[PJ-27]

280a!!!

What battery are you using? How do you fuse for that!?

[Mouldy]

Wheels will be protected, will have a Hardox ring around it when finnished.

Pj- I have a 100a auto fuse inline with the lipo, to blow that it'd prob take around 250a for 4 seconds at a guess... My lipo is a 5000mah thunder power 45/90c 5s... Meaning it can handle 225a continuous current draw, and upto 450a burst

Once I've sorted out the belt tension and changed the frequency the motor runs at in the software I should be able to get the spin up current below the 250a mark at a guess. Sounds a lot, but that's me hammering the throttle for a fast spin up.... Could possibly get it below 200a if I wanted.

[Mouldy]

Thats better;



spins up to 12,912 RPM and draws 216amp.... was taking it a bit easier on the throttle... but i think the spin up is good enough now.

Think its the fastest spinning weapon on a featherweight in the UK so far now .. if anyone knows the weight/OD/RPM Of touro feather in the US id like to know... as thats the kinda effect i was aiming for.

[PJ-27]

Only 12,912 rpm?!.......

What weight and OD are you running?

[Mouldy]

the drums 3kg, 95OD x 220mm wide

[PJ-27]

That's going to pack a serious punch!

That's going to pack a serious punch!

If it can engage anything...

I mean no disrespect to Dave at all by that remark (he can build darn better machines than me ) but those teeth look far too small to make any meaningful engagement on another robot. I could well be wrong, but it just appears that way.

[PJ-27]

Oh yeh, at that RPM there will be lots of grinding (I don't think size of teeth matters much at this sort of speed) and that much kinetic force it'll be a pain to drive, but when it does engage!

[RogueTwoRobots]

I dunno, I reckon the depth of those teeth will be fine. We'd naturally assume that the bigger the teeth, the better the engagement. But to compare, Drumroll II has quite big teeth and Galactus/Touro Feather have quite shallow teeth (like Dave's machine). I can get some good hits with mine, but Galactus was getting fantastic hits too, and if you check out some of the Touro vids, their opponents are getting serious airtime!
The top-end rpm might be a bit high but it's easy enough to drop that down if necessary. Either way, it's gonna hit hard.
