Guess who's back.
The plans have changed. The new configuration calls for an invertible horizontal spinner.
Why the change? Considering how new I am to the sport, having to basically rebuild the machine after every match makes the FBS a bad choice for me.
The new design will use ONE overvolted S-400 to spin a 20 lb. aluminum/steel disc. Four-wheel drive will be provided by a pair of 3 HP S-150s. The rear will have an interchangeable wedge/bumper. The bumper, used against spinners, will be mounted on a pair of springs, so that while the robot will not absorb the hits as rammers do, the impact will hopefully bounce FBS's into the wall. I don't want to risk busting the internals.
All in all, it will resemble the bastard child of MOE and Mechavore.
God willing, you'll see me in Battlebots this April.
