What happened to the other bot? It seemed to break down at random.

Oh. Bad arena design, or did its wheels go funny?

haz · « **Reply #964 on:** April 14, 2012, 02:45:03 PM »

wheels i think.
the arena is the best i have driven in.

this is more like it

Yeesh, that grinding noise when the drummer went under ML made me shudder.

And that other bot looks like The Grim Reaper in Series 7 for some reason.

Judging by the little bit of the vids I watched (specifically, the start of video 1) you need to practice your driving a bit more. Good luck though, driving could win you a lot of matches with that bot.

Also, put some kind of wedge on it so that the lifter isn't just sticking out way in front of the bot. It'll be easy to catch other robots with it.

crap that was a hard hit you took, your bot ok?

haz · « **Reply #968 on:** April 15, 2012, 11:07:00 AM »

yes my driving is terible, as i will be the first person to admit.

yeah. sheared all the heads off some of the bolts and funked the baseplate, bent one side of it right up.

You should have renamed Murphy's law "The Black Knight" after all the hits it took. :P

Seriously though, looking pretty sweet. How damaging is it?

haz · « **Reply #972 on:** April 28, 2012, 07:29:58 AM »

LOL.

its pretty good, one of the best i have (eggbeater is getting overhauled) it mushed up some wood easlily and put large gouges in some hdpe.
it bent and ripped 0.5mm ti and slightly bent 1mm.

Muprhy's Law? more like Murphy's massively bodged and with a major design flaw

i am bloody stuipid sometimes, did i spend all week getting ML to self right? yes i did, did i also put the link on the top of the robot? yes i did
did i not put the link in propperly? you guessed it, yes i did.

self righting going well if a little slowly

link falls out and i am stuck

ah well, at least i get to rebuild ML with new batterys, link, wheels and armour.
and i killed a coke can

i love antweight spinners

and remember to always tape powerpole's togeather to prevent separation...

Vertigo · « **Reply #975 on:** May 07, 2012, 10:29:28 AM »

Links are a pain in the neck, we tape ours in and they still fall out sometimes.

If it weren't for links, I'd be UK champion by now.

If your tx has the capabilities, you may want to play around with the trims and acceleration curves to get the bot to drive straighter. Seems like the weight balance is pulling it hard to the right.
