He needs a bit more than a bag as a lipo precaution, have a read through the regulations.
BTW, 14.5, not too bad, Kenny tried to pass off a 17(19?)kg LW as a FW a few years back :P
Haha, armourdillo weight about 15kg... Neally all my robots are made over weight... Even the shell for the beetle all ready weighs about 900 grams... And bruiser weighs about 13.5kg now, the new sides are lighter than the old wood ones, and I took of the old front to make room for the new wedge, and If my scales are wrong, and it's over, I have a lighter battery that I can use...
And I have got a new charger, which has the cell balancing thingy magig, so I can get some litheum batteries in the future, if i ever get the time to lighten it further, and put the steel wedge on the back as well...
I'm actually pretty sure it was in the early twentiesOriginally Posted by razerdave
lol, not has bad as calums 22kg wasn't it??I'm actually pretty sure it was in the early twenties
Did some more work on rocky today (the beetle weight drum spinner) and finished the drum! It weighs about 800grams ATM :/ but after a spin test, I'm hoping it will fit into the design, as it has some decent momentum! it spins at about 7000rpm... But Sadly I need to completely rebuild the chassis as it's to heavy, and the wrong size/ shape... But it's all going ok, apart from that! And we are still in the design faze for the axe robot... Also bruisers still broken from the last event... We are thinking about upgrading it... As it's sooo slow...
Awesome! 800 grams is meaty! Is the plan to keep it that heavy? I'm very interested to see the rest of it, since an 800g weapon doesn't leave much for everything else. :shock:
Yeh, it's quiet a bit heaver than I was planning... And I may try and lighten it in the future, but I'm going to see how light I can make the body first, cos I do like the idea of such a powerful weapon...
Not done much recently, just a little design. Were planning to get bruiser going at 10mph, with some new motors, and I have been designing the axe feather as well ( I will put some pics up of the CAD soon) and I'm also building an ant, as something to do between battles...
