FOTEPX's DSL Showcase

[FOTEPX]

Ok, does anybody know the required amps for 4 spring loaded betas and 2 e-teks? Cause I have no clue.

[Pwnator]

12 PC625s and 2 ants, I think.

Thank you. I'll edit the battery ammount tommorow.

You can alter the chassis and mount those Etek-drive externally, which can save you a lot of weights.

12 PC545 are more than enough

[123savethewhales]

12 PC545 are more than enough

210*4 + 20 = 860 amp

while 840/1.6 + 20 = 545, you need 860 for burst to have full power.  Field test suggest the difference is significant.

I prefer using redpack over PC545.  While 30 red pack + 2 ants weights 30kg more than 14 PC545 + 2 ants, the space it takes to fit 4 redpack is = 1 PC545, which is quite a lot of space saved.

O wait i did it wrong, i meant PC625

Improved it to 10 PC625's, 4 Battlepacks and 2 ants. Also, upgraded the armour to Titanium 3 with the spare weight.

[FOTEPX]

oop, just remembered one of the origonal complaints, that the wedges weren't strong enough. Upgrade to Alu for the Metal Hinges, and Steel for the flipper.

EDIT: ARRRGH WITH STEEL IT BACKFLIPS ITSELF

[FOTEPX]

Phew... Finally fixed that. Made it all titanium and upgraded the armour to Plastic five. I think this robot is done with.

Edit button?


You could keep the steel flippers and have some wedges on the back for ant-flip purposes, see HazCon if you're unsure of what I mean.

I did that to some extent on Invertigo. Besides, Titaniums are OK with me.

EFIE is still the original. And I would sooooo make a true UHW, but I cannot attach the Betas outside the chassis

Wait, you can?

UPDATE: Yes, yes you can. 6 Beta's, and working on batteries.

[FOTEPX]

UPDATE: Yes, yes you can. 6 Beta's

Pity I can't get enough batteries in to power the damn things 

Tell you what, guys, i'm gonna ask for your help.

Whoever can fit the most batteries in can enter the bot in whatever competition they want, and can even shwocase the bot if they want.

If your up for the challenge, just say "Sure ill be part of your challenge" or something.

[FOTEPX]

Ok guys, my new HW is done. 4 Etek face spinner with 6 ants and two NPC64 Fasts for drive.

[FOTEPX]

Pictures here.

What's the chassis armor?

You can also use something lighter than DSL bars for the extenders, and I don't think the spikes in the center of the disks are doing much.

...and metal hinge wedges.

[FOTEPX]

Chassis Armour is Plastic 3.

I use them specially. I've allready tried with Titanium Extenders, and if one of them goes, it's all over, so DSL bars are best.
