Hello my fellow robotic engineers! So my robotics club will be all working on creating our first ever combat robot, and we were thinking of using DSL3 to at least get a simple CONCEPT of what we want to do. Generally our idea is to have a wedgebot, with two discs peeking out from the top. It would get under an opponent and the spinning sawblades would be facing different directions which we expect to create a bouncing effect and cause more damage. Seeing as to how most people here are involved in their own occasional robotic combat events, maybe you could say if for now it sounds like a good idea?
Thanks!
what kind of budget do you have, what kind of fabrication skills? what random components do you already have available?
wat weight class? i see a similar concept to this working in the 3lb or a wedgeless variation working in in 30lb sportsman
invertability or some way to move upside down is a must.
while yes they would cancel out each others gyroscopic forces, the blade that spins down will choke on pretty much anything and you would need two motors or some kind of silly miter gear system for power transmission. if you are set on using a sawblade, do two vertical spinning blades. to get a better bite and a better hit, use lower TPI blades.
also do something a little more legit than design in RA2.
