Title: Mystic's RR2 bots
Post by: Mystic2000 on August 03, 2019, 04:59:25 PM
sup nerds

tried to make a compact drum spinner with the E-Tek since ampflows are really meh for spinner, here is Dr Decimation

this seems to work decently, weapon's pretty powerful, it kinda has trouble driving inverted tho despite the top ears

weapon stats:
3500 RPM
11KJ
26kg
96mph tip speed
spins up to full speed in around 2 seconds

Takes screenshot with greenscreen.
Doesn't Crop it.


In all seriousness though, I can't really see most of the bot due to the shading.  The drum shape seems awkward too.  I recommend using 2 half-cylinders.

the octagon drum actually works decently, i just had trouble making a proper circular drum out of one piece so i did a octagon drum instead

made a very similar design with an eggbeater, but here the weapon supports and angled sides are entirely out of shapes, i don't know how resistant it'll be compared to a full chassis setup, but the eggbeater weapon seems to work better due to better engagement

made a motor-on-top shell spinner cause that's the only way to have a shell that is relatively short in height, stores around 40KJ, shell's around 50-55kg, self-right's about as unreliable as you'd think

still need to figure out what to make for an actual comp, i could bring Dr.Decimation or Hummingbird but i kinda wanna try a bigger diameter vert

tried making a overhead spinner like MegatRON, but it led to results that are quite dissapointing, despite the E-tek, the spinner barely ever spins (50 RPM), but where it gets interesting, is after firing the "arm" a few times, the spinner starts glitching and it's RPM flashes from 0 to 30k RPM very rapidly

I had the same problem when I tried an overhead spinner it looks great though.

The same thing happened to me when I attempted to rebuild Haymaker.

if i gear the disc down, the "flashing" happens consistently on spinup, i wonder if for some reason the game can't keep applying the spinner physics continously so it flashes on and off

I believe it has to do with a weapon being attached to a weapon.

Is the spinner hitting something and stopping?

pretty sure it's not that cause otherwise i'd notice the bot moving on it's own

From my experience with overhead spinner designs where motor and weapon are clear of anything to hit that's not it. Also when I tried the motor stacking for that huge spinner I made attaching blade to second motor wouldn't do anything no matter what but placing it on first motor with 2nd stacked on top of it did. I'm guessing it's only taking in the effect of the first item in the chain as for example my overhead was servo powered geared down and the small spinner rotated similar speed to how fast arm is on servo.
