TBH for anything above an ant you really need a spektrum

No lifter and axe at the same time? Seems inconvenient.

Considering what The Steel Avenger looks like, I'm not terribly surprised that there's no lifter and axe available at once.

after being knocked about a bit at maidstone (by ants and feathers) and being voted a most disapointing robot, it is time for another angle at featherweights, a some what "steelier" angle....
written off the old shell, only bits i will keep are the aluminum arms and the hardox
im still going for the drills, i have just over volted to 18v and replaced the plastic gears with metal ones, going for smaller wheels aswell, 75mm instead of 100mm

i was kindly dontated a old steel fw shell, here it is, it is pretty rusty atm so ill grind the worst off on wednesday probs

with top cover:

i'll get you next time shwxplosion

They've dis-assembled Steel Avenger? D:

In order to fix up all the individual parts and things to bring it back up to proper running condition, mate- a bit like what they're doing with the Flying Scotsman.

it hasnt been dissasembled

The photo doesn't show it all that well, but it looks like with the 75mm wheels the bot won't be invertable. Is that the case? Also, any plans to prevent the front end from lifting during acceleration?

haz · « **Reply #688 on:** November 07, 2011, 10:41:21 AM »

its just about invertable as it is, i wll probably add a layer of bike tire around the wheels to raise them up a little.
the front kind of has to lift up a little bit to be able to move on the arena floors, i will add a small skidd at the back for robochallange when i'll fight on a steel floor

smashysmashy · « **Reply #693 on:** November 08, 2011, 12:06:49 PM »
