UK Kilobots - 1.362kg (3 lbs) Combat Robots

could do with a few more lipos

Still got room for more lipos lol. I was suprised it drives really well. Dave wired it up today. Just looking for a different brushless setup at the moment. Somthing with a lower profile motor than it has, and less KV. Would love to see a few more people building them and posting pics.

[harry hills]

mine is no futher than random motors and a couple of lipos atm. still designing it.

I have the design of mine but I used the motors for my ant arena effects, need to get some more.

I'm also not sure if I can get my design in the weight:

1mm Ti base plate
1mm Carbon fibre top
1.2mm Ti front
10mm HDPE bulkheads (held in with Ali angle)
1 x 1300mAh 11.1v battery
1 x sabretooth 5A
2x MFA 100:1 motors
1 x 12T gear and 1 x 24T gear (possibly, may be less)

And the clincher
1 x speedo 900 replica for my weapon

I can see the S900 replica screwing you for weight there Dave.

[RogueTwoRobots]

I'm not so sure. I reckon it'll be the 1mm carbon fibre top that'll take it way over the weight limit.

be nice to see some non spinners.

My mini Turb flipper (well, electric lifter) is still sitting in need of some TLC. Been lacking motivation with it as the armour's a bit fiddly, but should just need some attention over a weekend to get it done. Maybe this weekend coming now that I've finished on Cicatrix.

Rocky needs a new body, and I'm also cutting a new blade. After that, all I need is the pully, and bearings. And how are you going to fit the s 900 in? They weight loads, im using a motor a 3rd of the size and it still looks big!

What weight are people building to? I remember reading a long whilke back that people could not decide to go with a straight kilo or the 1.36kg of the US. Was a decision ever reached?
