Title: Dead Cell robotics
Post by: Sparkey98 on July 11, 2011, 01:36:19 PM: Well I figured I'd make a little thread for my legit real life robotics. I've gotten an RC car and a few other messy piles of electronics and mechanics so I'm going to try to get a working model/mockup of a sportsman class bot up and running sometime this summer. Wish me luck.

"rc car"

stop there, get some drills for like $20 each or some cheapy $5 servos and know something up with those-much better

Post by: Vertigo on July 11, 2011, 02:16:12 PM: Yeah, RC cars are bad, look at Haz's direction as for how you can make a very cheap robot without the use of an RC car :laughing
Title: Re: Dead Cell robotics
Post by: haz on July 11, 2011, 02:18:19 PM: yeah, slightly better than a rc car but you will get shedloads more respect with little servo bot than some kid with an rc car with a pencil on top

Post by: haz on July 11, 2011, 02:46:08 PM: oops, forgot about them, yeah i use one in Murphy's law and my new one
Title: Re: Dead Cell robotics
Post by: SKBT on July 11, 2011, 02:54:17 PM: Harbor Freight 18v drill motors are great, they put out a little over 1hp and are under a pound. I use em in all 3 of my bots. At $20 they aren't too expensive either. Also I prefer the Sabertooth or Vantec escs over the scorpion ones but that's just me.

There's no way you could make a competitive 30 sport out of an rc car. You'd be worse off than they guys from team Warpz with this trainwreck of a bot.

Post by: haz on July 11, 2011, 03:07:42 PM: what is sportsman class, what weight?? what kind of thing you use for armour?
Title: Re: Dead Cell robotics
Post by: SKBT on July 11, 2011, 03:11:50 PM: Sportsman Class is 30lbs (13.6kg), no wedges, and must have an active weapon.

I'll see if I have a picture of Warpz on my camera later tonight.
