Ok, thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to look up how to use RA2CF  :laughing

I think I'm gonna try using a plow style flipper next, and I'd like to know how to extend the plow round the sides, I think it's using armour panels.

Sorry it's been awhile, but hope everyone is having a good new year.

So this is a HW flipper (No name), IRL

Outer


Inner


Unsure how to feel about it, but next time I would prefer to do a Atomic (Series 7) style flipper/plow, or an invertible flipper

I've made changes to the undercutter, using a 6 gear motor for the weapon and TWM3R drives for the drive motors (Thanks TheRoboteer for the suggestions). And have used the DSL disc with ripping teeth and Pl 10 (Thanks F1Krazy).

Even at 676.3 KG that's pretty severely underweight for a HW, and overweight for a CW. Beef up the armour a bit, downgrade the drive motors and upgrade the disc to a Custom DSL one like F1Krazy suggested. You may even have enough weight left over to upgrade the weapon motor to a Tornado or 6 mag gearbox or a Dual Perm if it'll fit.

What drive motors would be a good alternative?

So I've tried to made a HW undercutter, not sure how good it is, feedback is appreciated  :mrgreen:



Edit: Now 676.3KG uses Ti 5

I like the pixel art on the top. Very nice.

(dunno whether it's supposed to be pixel art, but either way, it's good)


Yea, it's space  :mrgreen:

I'd like to put them in an irl LW tourney or something

So I've finished to paint job on 'Orbit' bit messy but will do, still the same on the inside (motor was moved away so it didn't clip the flipper).

Front


Back

Looks like the arm is clipping slightly through the drive motors, but other than that, great job! I often struggle to build anything lighter than a CW so I look forward to seeing what you're capable of in higher weight categories.

Thanks for pointing it out, it's sorted now.

After seeing some of your builds, like vertigo, I've really wanted to make a HW of some sort


Edit: I need a name for the bot, any recommendations?

Ok, so I've moved the wheels in, they still poke out a bit so I've still got the guards, but with the extra weight i've increase the size of the flipper and added 2 ant bats.

good bot but
1. Theres plenty of space to put the motor and wheels inside
2.Try and put in a piston burst motor if you have dsl 2.2
3. what armour is it using
keep it up!

So I've changed to the burst piston and it's a lot better, thanks for the suggestion and I'll still be using the room within and it's Ti 3 armour  :mrgreen:

Here's my uncomplete flipper bot (unnamed) my concern is whether the mag snapper is powerful enough, and if not, some alternatives. Another issue so far is that it veers to the left when driving forward. Help would be appreciated, thanks  :mrgreen:

I had a couple of ideas in how I could fix it, first changing the wheels to growler wheels, but this has the wheels clipping through the chassis. So I can also remove to 45 degree tite angles of the top. But give me the weight to put in an ant battery.





After note: I think I might try changing the Ti to Al entenders

That looks like insufficient battery life.
Also, make sure the drum doesn't collide with the control board.  It seems to be clipping through it in the photo.
If it isn't it'll be IRL.

I've moved to control board and the battery back. Also concerning battery life, fitting another ant battery brings it to 249.1 which makes it a middleweight :/ but I'll see if I can move around some stuff

As far as I can see, it has two black batteries and a red battery? That should be fine, I think. Though the best way to see if your robot has enough battery is to just do a bunch of fights and see if it ever runs out.

It's only a red battery, but it seems to be doing ok
Try replacing that Ballast for a battery.
Oh, I see, the black thing is a ballast. Yeah, get rid of that and put another red battery in there.

... there's no ballast

eyyyyy you finally got DSL

That's pretty good, hoping to see more from you soon.

Thanks, I had been toying around with it for awhile but now have made something decent  :mrgreen:

Ok, so I've made my first 'decent' dsl bot after a while of playing with it.

Tidal is a drum spinner, hopefully is irl but am unsure.

Tidal Inner

With the lack of weight, I was able to add a second disc. This using the small chassis with the exposed wheels
