That's without the disc and 4 bars.

I'm dumb, well anyways, how much weight do you have left?

Merrick · « **Reply #343 on:** June 25, 2013, 02:52:23 PM »

4.5kg left.

The issue with the blue control board is that I couldn't find anywhere to make it fit.

Also ant wides stick out of the chassis a bit.

Most rammers and HS could destroy that. It is too exposed.

Just messing around now.

Tazbot!!!!!

That was my first thought too. Would look cooler with some external cambered wheels, if you can do that.

I did consider it, but I didn't really like the way it looked.

And yes, Tazbot was a slight inspiration.

like it. does it use a servo to spin the top?

Merrick · « **Reply #350 on:** June 29, 2013, 07:44:00 AM »

Erm, I used a copal gearmotor or something like that. Still haven't worked that bit out. It's easily fixed.

Merrick · « **Reply #351 on:** June 29, 2013, 07:55:20 AM »

yay double post

It's on a servo now. Also it's less like Tazbot because I strapped a flywheel to it.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #352 on:** June 29, 2013, 07:59:52 AM »

Sweet. Looks really unstable though, it might look better with a horizontal disc.

Merrick · « **Reply #353 on:** June 29, 2013, 08:14:57 AM »

Really? Unstable how? As in front heavy?

Maybe it's the angle of the screenshot.

Have a couple more.

It doesn't tip forward or sideways when the turret turns.

On the subject of the horizontal disc, I experimenting with that too, but the reach wasn't too great. Rammer and wedges can just go straight under it.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #354 on:** June 29, 2013, 09:16:54 AM »

I was thinking that if you used a horizontal disc, you could swing it into the sides of bots when they ram and cut off wheels and stuff.

Merrick · « **Reply #355 on:** June 29, 2013, 09:18:59 AM »

I guess that could work out too.

I don't think I'd be able to get the support looking as clean though. I'll try tonight.

Merrick · « **Reply #356 on:** July 02, 2013, 10:18:29 AM »

what is this i don't even

Philippa · « **Reply #357 on:** July 02, 2013, 10:49:21 AM »

TRFBD - Torque Reaction Full Body Drum.

I assume the bars spin round?

Merrick · « **Reply #358 on:** July 02, 2013, 10:51:50 AM »

Alas, no. It just runs over stuff.

However, I got a kind reminder on Skype that TTTT is actually MW not LW. So I'll sort it out later.

(also probably gonna build something else like a popup because this is SHOCKING)
