Awesome.

Time for some quick robot updates. I've got everything on hand or ordered to finish Mr. Self Destruct besides the Firecrackers, and they'll be ordered as soon as they're available.

I've been talking to the guy that made the second plate for the Team Delta powerdrive kits ( http://teamdelta.com/3dmodels/Dewalt.jpg ) to see if I could get his remaining supply and make them more available to people. If I did this, would there be any interest in them?

Design is finished for the rebuild of Apollyon/Interstellar Overdrive and construction will begin once Mr. SD is running. Here's the cad model. Chassis is a fair bit lighter than the previous one to account for the added weight of the dewalts.

Sorry for the late reply but what competition?

MikeNCR · « **Reply #313 on:** September 09, 2010, 05:46:33 PM »

Just got word that the speed controllers will be ready to ship on just about the day of the Franklin competition, so Mr. SD won't debut until Motorama.

Also, current weight without speed controllers is 31.2lbs, so I've got some weight to shave off.

MikeNCR · « **Reply #314 on:** September 09, 2010, 07:27:34 PM »

I found an alternative speed controller that weighs 38g- http://www.holmeshobbies.com/product.php?productid=274&cat=0&page=1

Just ordered two for testing, if they work I'll order two more very shortly after and go to Franklin, if not, I'll be waiting 'till motorama

MikeNCR · « **Reply #316 on:** September 12, 2010, 12:38:54 AM »

Some weight trimming has been done.

Still to come:
Aluminum hardware
Thinner baseplate
Weapon bar trimming

front looks a bit exposed, but then again, will any bot ever get there with that bar in the way?
