Miniroll

Haven`t done the bigger drum yet, but gave some more volts to the weapon motor and the thing is crazy now. Log like in the video flyes 3-5m

Bigger drum is almost ready!! Added second motor too! I got a 4.5x2.5m arena almost built too!

Some pics later in evening. Miniroll is starting to look supernice with a bigger drum!

Miniroll weights 5600g without the battery and drum teeth/bars - so It needs to loose a little weight somewhere. New sidepanels are cut out and holes are drilled, going to fit them soon.


This is the Rakvere Arena

looking cool, and im liking the use of your attic/loft for an arena - cool

Very nice Mart, the larger tube for the drum looks much better
And echo Calum's comments about the arena - it looks ace, and I love the location

yh theres something cool about an attic arena lol makes me want to have one in my attic now

full combat attic arena would be well cool

Yeah I think it's kind of like the old school car park battles. Not battling in an arena in a venue in front of an audience, just battling where there's space and/or where a makeshift arena can be thrown together. A bit underground scene-esque.
Our loft's not big enough sadly to put something like this in it, plus I'm sure my parents would object to all the thumps coming through the ceiling :P

Hi, tested the miniroll drum without teeth.

With one motor, spin up is a bit slower but it has more speed.

The power of the drum seemed to be moving Miniroll forward
