cheers jamie, and yeah i thought about that but they seem solid enough so i just thought about hot glue gunning them or something to be safe. Ive made the mounting for the speedo so its springy so itd reduce any shocks to hopefully

[calumco]

and yeah i was gonna have friction driven wheels, but i wana see if i spin the weapon up if it wud selfright it or not as i no before garys caught the floor and flipped boner back over

Coolio, hot glue should do a decent enough job as well.
Regarding Boner, the drum on that stuck out the top quite a bit, it wasn't exactly halfway between the top and bottom of the chassis (hence the old roll-hoops). Looking at your chassis, the beater shaft looks to be roughly halfway between the top and the bottom so your beater might not stick out enough to get a good bite to throw you back over. Depends if the belt ratio leaves enough torque too.
I could be wrong though, best way to find out will be to try it!

And if it doesn't work, you can always throw on some nice bits of white HDPE to roll you back over :wink:

if in doubt glue it :P!

yeah ill give it a go and then ill see what i can do, thinking that for the fights where i don't need em i could take the inverted wheels off mabye anyway.

get paid in 2 days then ill be buying lipos and a charger etc so that'll be my next step of mouting stuff inside the robot, interested to see how much faster it'll drive on 22 volts instead of just 8.4

TS2 lives! Spent most of todayy finishing it. Didnt end up finishing it because i spent too much time playing and testing it out :P did a video that ill put up later and i managed to get some good hits on a 10kg chassis and a hand dryer aha. Tomorrow im makin the top lid outta 1.6 ti and theres the battery holders to finish, mount the weapon speedo and generally tidy it up 11.5 kg in that vid

34 seconds in .........

[Leonardomayo]

I'm facing that?
Nope, not worried at all.

[RogueTwoRobots]

Awesome!
Not even on full voltage either. Very impressed, looks like a lot of fun to play around with

Remember this is calum building the crusher.
1, Its wont be in weight so it wont be in the UK champs.
2, it will suck
3, driven by a tard.

I remember reading this ages ago, when I saw I was fighting your robot I thought don't worry max, it will also be overweight, suck and be driven by a tard, thank god!. I was feeling confident about my first qualifier

Now I think oh bugger
