Team Saint Robot Builds

[craig_colliass]

OK I will probably finish talking about the initial robot build for Gabriel with these pictures.


As you can see the speed controller (the Wotty) is mounted between the motors and has a large heat sink fitted to it as in these robots the speed controller can get quite warm! the position of this component is important I wanted it to be within the minimum inertially stressed place when as it were "The hammer falls."
you can see strapped to the motor assemblies the boxes that I was going to use for the batteries, in the end I considered this part of the robot to have too much inertial loads for fragile LiPo batteries, the final position was changed.

cutting the plastic for the top and bottom armour was harder than I thought as it had to be quite accurate to fit the front armour.
