Chatterbox / Shipwrecks?
« on: September 16, 2012, 12:58:52 AM »
Anyone else here a fan of studying wrecked, sunken, or derelict ships? I know both Nate and I have been for quite some time.


To get us started, I'll point out my favorite shipwreck of them all, the USS American Star

American Star was an ocean liner than became beached off shore, where it stayed standing upright for about fifteen years before breaking apart and sinking.

You seem to like cambered wheels

either that or that bot's just hecka wonky lol
Yes, I sure do  :gawe:

The wheels are leaned up against the chassis for the photo (nothing is connected there, in fact its all held up on rolls of tape!) but I do plan on finding some way to camber them on the final build.

I figure sooner or later I should start up a thread to document the creation of the 30 pound robot I am planning, might as well do it now eh?

As far as parts that I have gathered so far, I have only collected the outside stuff (wheels, sawblade, possible armor etc) which I have used to construct a "pile of parts" Mockup of what the finished machine, named "TweakMaster" will look like:

Yes, that is a paint tray that I am thinking about using as the top of the chassis. Nothing here is final however, so the parts that I use are subject to change. The reason I am considering using the parts that I have gathered is because they are cheap, I don't have a lot of money as it is, so I want to build the cheapest possible robot without making it of cardboard or an rc car. I'm sure I will do extensive modifications to the paint tray (if I even use it) and the name tag is not final  either, its just a placeholder (I plan on actually painting the name onto the thing.)

The wheels are standard lawnmower wheels with sanding disks on the side/paper wheel hub covers as a goofy design thing.

Except for the expensive stuff like speed controls/radio equipment, I hope I will be able to build this whole thing with surplus parts and spare stuff that I can find.

EDIT: image reuploaded with imgur.

I attempted to make a Heavyweight version of my entry into Narys tourny, so I give you CATACLYSMIC JESUS.

it's only got like 3 or 4 ants so it might be somewhat underpowered.

So I was planning on putting a plow on the HS and then I accidentally built this thing:

and it does surprisingly well!

The lack of a KO in the above shot is a total fluke, I had about one sh** away from killing him, but the battery life was starting to run down, so I wasn't moving as fast as I should have been.

You took a (bad) joke-post seriously. Can't you handle jokes made about your own country?
I never really took any of it seriously. if I did I would have responded to you with something other than

Lookey what I found :)

Gruinion, Shis-Ka-Bot, and Rammstein. If Badnik still needs photos of these guys for the wiki, I will be happy to get better shots of each.
