One of my future plans is to build a drum spinner call "Drum-in-a-drum-trich" Its and inside joke

Vertigo · « **Reply #41 on:** November 27, 2010, 05:25:28 AM »

I wouldn't make a spinner, they're very expensive and can only be used twice a year

Velocity EVO · « **Reply #42 on:** November 27, 2010, 05:27:17 AM »

We could build an arena that could be brought to events.

Vertigo · « **Reply #43 on:** November 27, 2010, 05:28:21 AM »

Yes, but they wouldn't want two large arenas
That is quite impractical TBH

Velocity EVO · « **Reply #44 on:** November 27, 2010, 05:33:05 AM »

Point taken.

It is still something id like to do

Make a spinner and compete in America where they are Spinner Fanboys not Flipper fanboys :P

Why not use Hardox. It is rather difficult to get into

YES, use hardox, (if you can weld it)

Velocity EVO · « **Reply #48 on:** November 27, 2010, 06:03:01 AM »

I cannot weld to save my life. So i'll stick with HDPE

Vertigo · « **Reply #49 on:** November 27, 2010, 06:05:31 AM »

Yeah, HDPE's great :D

What do you mean by spinner fanboys? :P

@Vevo: If you are building A wedgebot I recomend a hinged wedge so your bots wedge will work inverted.

That is one thing i had in mind SKBT. But there is one worry that it could get stuck in the ground

Spinners are overrated in my opinion. I prefer lifters and rammers. (That doesn't mean I don't like spinners though)

When it comes to transmitters. Which would be best. Would a Scorpion TX be good

Scorpion · « **Reply #54 on:** November 27, 2010, 03:32:29 PM »

It's got scorpion in it's name so it must be good!

(sorry for the completely useless post, but I couldn't resist myself

)

get a spektrum, nothing else is good

SKBT · « **Reply #56 on:** November 27, 2010, 06:19:26 PM »

I have a DX5e for my bot. It works great. For a non weaponed bot you only need 2 channels. You could get away with a DX3. I've seen them used on robots before.

Ok instead of having a drum spinner for a future plan. it will now be a bar spinner

By the name of Dr Thwack

This CAD was made months ago for my fantasy bot (I requested the CAD)
