There's an area near the tooth that's been pocketed to remove some weight, the goal being that the center of gravity shifts from being offset due to the tooth to being back at the center of rotation.

Well I understand that it must be balanced (I don't think haz is that dumb

) but it's just that bots generally have two teeth so the disc doesn't have to come a full rotation to hit a bot. And so if you lose one, you aren't SOL.

Tooth loss is less of an issue in the real world, especially when the teeth and disk are not separate pieces. Single tooth designs are getting quite popular for the exact reason you think of as a negative. If the disk spins at the same speed, you have twice as much time between impacts, allowing for the disk to get a bigger bite in the opponent and transfer more energy.

Real world example:

Wow, I didn't think anyone used RoboChallenge blue wheels in America XD

there probably banebots, or should i say shamebots?

Vertigo · « **Reply #886 on:** December 29, 2011, 04:34:41 AM »

Look much more like RC wheels than banebots to me

MikeNCR · « **Reply #887 on:** December 29, 2011, 06:01:54 AM »

Fairly sure they're banebots.

Not to mention professor chaos...

I honestly always thought Professor Chaos had two teeth. Seems more prevalent than I thought and the logic is right.

Nope, they used the Golden Ratio to design a disk with one giant tooth and naturally balanced..

You need more reach on the blade. You've got no reach right now. Go for something like 4 or 5".

R1885 · « **Reply #894 on:** January 05, 2012, 07:29:53 PM »

The blade seems to be already four inches long, he can't make it any longer due to UK rules.

haz · « **Reply #895 on:** January 06, 2012, 02:18:58 AM »

yeah the blade is just under 4" long , i actually need to cut it down a bit to get it to fit in the 3" cube

Badger · « **Reply #896 on:** January 06, 2012, 02:33:16 PM »

Wait... is that blade... is it a ruler??? I think I can just see the markings...
