the razor tips are enough if they last all the way to the end.

A short break from the LW's for a somewhat renovated HW from quite a few years ago.

That'd put stress risers in the bar. A thinner uniform bar is more likely to survive the impacts than one that's pocketed. I'll probably keep the bar, as I can use it if I ever decide to fight Mr. SD as a LW.

Apollyon/Interstellar Overdrive is on the way to CA for Battlebots. Bot+tools+spares+toolbox came to 51lbs.

Weighed Mr. SD while there, 29.5lbs while without the batteries and electricals (~2.5-3lbs)

Looks like I need a new weapon bar :(

Luckily physics is coming to the rescue here, because reducing the bar to 3/8" reduces the KE by exactly 1/4 and reduces the impact area by 1/4, resulting in the same impact pressure and faster spin-up.

Thanks. Taking time to think about how I'd build the design if it were a real bot helps quite a bit.

If you need ideas, BuildersDB is a good resource.

MWs:

LWs:

Using some 30s as LWs would shore the numbers up well, too.

Been using it since I raced slotcars in middle school. Great visibility and a relatively uncommon color scheme. Edited my last post to add in a new LW spinner I'm testing.

The new hypno looks great!

If you're planning on replicating Mr. SD or replacing Ruiner with Mr. SD, let me know. I've got all the detailed part drawings and can put them in any format Solidworks 2007 can save into if it will save you some time/trouble.

I'll definitely break something. Might even try to get it from two angles(one tripod mounted cam, and either another stationary one or an Apollyon mounted camera for some closeups)

If Mr. SD is underweight, It'll get painted up, if it's overweight, it might if I get it under enough. Externally, it is the final shape/dimensions. Should be a blast to drive with the ~15mph top speed, wide stance and gyro-dance of doom.

I was thinking more along the lines of an old microwave, but I could probably scrounge up a watermellon some time.

Still need to do all the electronics and I'm thinking of using the new Firecracker ESC in the 30 which may slow me down a bit as they've not been released yet.

Ah, shut up already. You know what you get with a super compact chassis in DSL? Huh do ya?

YOU GET THIS:

Sorry R0B0SH4CK
Now tell me, do you think that would work in Real life? Now shut up about empty space already.


Whassat about empty space?

Is that Ruiner's blade? I can tell you, I would NOT want to face that.


Yes, yes it is. I took the weapon off Ruiner and put it on a 12lber and am calling it a 30lber.

Finished the chassis tonight, tomorrow I'll be mounting the top and bottom armor. After that, it's mostly just getting the electrical system sorted and testing.

Off-Topic Discussion / 3D modeling programs - Best? Easiest?

Hi, guys -

I am looking for help on programs for 3D modelling, like the ones used here in the game, among other things.  I'd like to create some custom stuff, too, and would appreciate any feedback on which programs would be the best/easiest to use.

Thanks!


Pretty sure it's an older version of 3DS Max that works for RA2.

As far as cad in general, I use Rhino3D and Solidworks. Rhino gets used as a 3d sketching tool and Solidworks is where I take care of the fine details.

What can I say? It seems to work just fine.

Did some work on the rammer
