I honestly couldn't care less if it was blizzard
I need an fps to fill the TF2 void... Why would I play an rts

^^^

I hardly think Blizzard are going for the same market with this as SC2 or whatever.

Kinda like someone going to buy a Yamaha guitar and someone saying 'come on, if you're getting a Yamaha, get a keyboard, or even a motorcycle!'

Heat. :)
The front end on this one was bent after holding a soldering irons barrel to it.

Yep. Side panels, baseplate and lid are all 4mm HDPE. Internal HDPE 'bulkheads' if you will are all 10mm so there's always at least 10mm of HDPE (usually 14) between bots and the electronics.
Wedge is 2mm Grade 5 Titanium, so it takes a hell of a knock.

The event was all filmed by multiple sources, only actually officially finished like 5 hours ago though so everyone has either been socialising at the venue since then or travelling home, expect footage over the next few days.

The floor from that photo was the floor of the Kinematic Events arena itself.

Calm down friend, I was simply adding to ecolusian's list of life options. Stop thinking I'm out to get you, makes you look silly.

Option 3: forget chatterbox exists and do something constructive. Apart from playzooki, this is his home, and that's okay.

You hit the Rule of 7. A component chain from the chassis can only be 7 long, so for your spinner, Anchor>angle>extender>angle>angle>ztek>tribar.
Try shortening your extender work by not using angle connectors where possible. They're actually very weak too so this will benefit you hugely. For example if you turn your anchor 90degrees, you could use the side attachment point of an extender straight onto that and angle it down without an angle connector.

Upped it to 4S lipo, botbitz 10a escs (gotta go careful there!), the fancy ranglebox 'good' and hardened 1000rpm motors, and 2 of the 15.5kg.cm servos I ran on Snappy 1 (only ran 1 there). If I can make it not blow up it should at least be interesting.

It's a UK beetleweight creepalot so it'll be around 1.5kg

The bottom one has a lifter.
The top one... will also have a lifter.

There's a trend ;)

Should be done in time...

The resistance is irrelevant as far as I know?
Q=CV
And power is some other equation like energy over time or something.

That should've been done before this was posted (and Sage did post that before it got approved but someone else must've approved it)

Did you re-message Avalanche to check this was still on before posting? Both members must have agreed very shortly before a thread goes up.

Definitely way too fast. You'll be throwing yourself over taking tight turns with the bars spinning. Pretty much everything I'd say has been covered, but as a (slightly obvious) aside, get those poly extenders upgraded! 1 or 2 hits and your weapon motor is gone.

Sorry for not feeding back earlier.

That's still a tiny amount of weaponry for a middleweight. I would recommend shrinking the chassis right down to save some weight and then downgrading the plow to Dark rather than Heater. You could probably get away with a T shaped chassis and sticking the plow on the bottom of the T.
What armour are you using, also?
