Saving up for this: http://titantechindustries.com/kits.html (http://titantechindustries.com/kits.html)
I'm almost there!
Anyways, I thought I would make this thread in advanced to let people know that I'm going to start building robots. And to take suggestions for a team name.
In a couple months, GTM will conquer the west coast!

'...weaponless antweight (1lb) combat robot.'
Good luck though :P

This made me laugh.
But in all seriousness, go for it. Just don't get too beaten up. :gawe:

You can add a wedge to it.

Team "Terrible Tosser Tries To Triumph".

How about just a simple Team Helloface? Or something to that nature.
-
hmmm....
what do you want to call your robot? maybe make a team name based off of the robot's theme, like what we do in RA2
-
just choose something that sounds cool to you. just anything that isnt t34m 133 h4x0rs.

Of course not, that's stupid. I'll come up with something. Right now I'm liking Kurt's suggestion, but keep those suggestions flowing!

Since the kit is by titan, something viking-ish; maybe Berserker?

General etiquette is to not use names that other people have already used.
-
Oh, poo. I was hoping it wasn't TOO widely used :/
Maybe something greek that sounds cool.

Kit should be arriving sometime soon, but my mom is making we wait until Christmas to work on it :/
Also...
Team don't suck?
This is actually sounding quite catchy at the moment.

You can't put it together when it comes? It only really takes a hex screwdriver.

Got the motters mounted, but the screws are too short to mount the wedge :(

-
the angle is wrong. the angle is actually 82 degrees
but what you need to do is buy the right kind of screws and a countersink bit
-

It was just to illustrate a countersink.

SURPRISE BUMP!!!
Decided to mount the wedge without the L bracket and reinforce with duck tape later. With that out of the way, I got all the wiring down (almost shorted out the batteries) on the first time and the controls are working well. I'll post a video after I zap strap all the wires to the chassis and attatch Styrofoam.

Might enter it into the Kirkland 2014 tournament after I practice driving, tweak the frequencies, and apply armour.
-
The foam.
What?
Why is it there?
It looks like armour.
Did you really?
Apply armour.
Saved it.
-
The foam is just there to keep the guts in.
also sweet 4 quads
-
use 1/8" thick layer of gorilla tape
-
Didn't the kit come with some garolite?
-
sawblade armour gogogogo
-
Didn't the kit come with some garolite?
Yup. Didn't feel like applying it that day.
-
Also, flip the hubs around so the gold part is on the outside. This'll make it harder for a wheel to come off.
