Stock Showcases / Hoppin's Bot Showcase
« on: October 24, 2016, 03:21:41 PM »
Hi,
This is my first showcase of my bot 'Mantis 5' Initially I had tried to recreate 'Mantis' from Robot Wars Series 7 but had changed it into this. First I had started out using servo motors for the 'claw' and lifters, after that I had changed it into the current motors to create Mantis 2, after a few fights I noticed that the now flippers would work better if the had something to counter balance them, creating Mantis 3 (Also attached). Though only to find out they break off really easily, so I had remade the chassis to create Mantis 4 and finally upgraded the drive to HP Z-Teks to get Mantis 5. Would really appreciate the feedback, thanks.
