I assume the motors were in Mr. SD at the time of detonation? otherwise that was one epic explosion to damage Apollyon 0_0

I wish I was better in physics. I`d love to build a bot some day too but I have no knowlege about anything (but realistic building in DSL :P)

I like Apo 2. can you get a closer shot of the wedge?

looks great man. what was the final cost of that bot?

Wow, did you scratch your floor much?

powerrave · « **Reply #447 on:** December 15, 2010, 06:59:33 AM »

i think the light is bright enough.

For Apollyon, the bills were pretty nuts.

Materials/machining/heat treating- $1,700
Electronics- $300
Dewalts- $380
Misc- $320

So, somewhere near $2700

The machining was the huge cost which is why Kobalos and Moros have been designed to be primarily waterjet cut.

I'll get some more pictures after painting is done.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #450 on:** December 15, 2010, 10:08:30 AM »

you should look at my thread then.. I make my own rules when building robots

just low cost for fun for me..

Well mines going to sit on a cut up 80s full body car frame and it "power" is 2 350s i have in the barn. lol

JoeBlo · « **Reply #452 on:** December 15, 2010, 10:32:34 AM »

.. right... so that would be in the opposite direction of small and cheap :P

70 CUDA · « **Reply #453 on:** December 15, 2010, 10:39:51 AM »

Small.......no
Cheap.......yes i have all but the electronics.

nice, so we can expect to see Cuda's Creation vs Optimus Prime on PayPerView next year then? :P

Got some bleed through while painting, but it's essentially done. Final weight is 11lb 14.2oz

That skin is amazing. I could stare at it all day.
