Looks real good.

Finished the chassis tonight, tomorrow I'll be mounting the top and bottom armor. After that, it's mostly just getting the electrical system sorted and testing.

Is that Ruiner's blade? I can tell you, I would NOT want to face that.

Yes, yes it is. I took the weapon off Ruiner and put it on a 12lber and am calling it a 30lber.

VERY nice.

so when are you going to have vids of it destroying more watermelons?

quoted for me asking too

I WANNA SEE WATERMELON GUTS TOO, DANGIT

Ok, that was a bit extreme

MikeNCR · « **Reply #170 on:** March 21, 2009, 08:11:43 AM »

I was thinking more along the lines of an old microwave, but I could probably scrounge up a watermellon some time.

Still need to do all the electronics and I'm thinking of using the new Firecracker ESC in the 30 which may slow me down a bit as they've not been released yet.

Just destroy SOMETHING, because I know that it is going to look REALLY COOL!

MikeNCR · « **Reply #172 on:** March 21, 2009, 12:48:43 PM »

I'll definitely break something. Might even try to get it from two angles(one tripod mounted cam, and either another stationary one or an Apollyon mounted camera for some closeups)

If Mr. SD is underweight, It'll get painted up, if it's overweight, it might if I get it under enough. Externally, it is the final shape/dimensions. Should be a blast to drive with the ~15mph top speed, wide stance and gyro-dance of doom.

ya i saw that they were working on the firecrackers, it would be pretty cool to see someone using them already

MikeNCR · « **Reply #174 on:** March 27, 2009, 04:02:04 PM »

Apollyon/Interstellar Overdrive is on the way to CA for Battlebots. Bot+tools+spares+toolbox came to 51lbs.

Weighed Mr. SD while there, 29.5lbs while without the batteries and electricals (~2.5-3lbs)

Looks like I need a new weapon bar

Luckily physics is coming to the rescue here, because reducing the bar to 3/8" reduces the KE by exactly 1/4 and reduces the impact area by 1/4, resulting in the same impact pressure and faster spin-up.

i don't know about new, but see if you could find someone to soften it, mill pockets and then reharden

MikeNCR · « **Reply #176 on:** March 27, 2009, 05:47:35 PM »

That'd put stress risers in the bar. A thinner uniform bar is more likely to survive the impacts than one that's pocketed. I'll probably keep the bar, as I can use it if I ever decide to fight Mr. SD as a LW.

Mr. Self Destructs new weapon bars are being shipped today. 28" long, 3" wide, 3/8" thick S7 hardened to HRC45.

Who hit the back of it?
