Have some hilarious numbers.
Assuming I can cram a 6s A123 in there instead of the 5s
2.04hp in the drive
Top speed of 13mph
Time to top speed of 1s, not accounting for what should assuredly be massive wheelspin
Whyachi has my drawings, mcmaster has a parts order, and now I'm waiting for stuff to show up. Hoping to have this thing driving by mid November so I'll have plenty of time for driving practice.
Current Whyachi order is enough to build the whole bot, a spare wedge and two spare hooks.

Decided to perform a small expariment along side the build.
The new hub weighs less than a standard colson without the Alu. hubs I use right now, so I can either go this route with the key in the LDPE wheel, or remove some material and put them on the hubs I've already got.

Decided to design a miniature Apollyon should I get time/feel like making it.
Weight as pictured(ie, no wires, fasteners, bearing weight) is 0.85lbs
20:1 sparks at 11.1v with 1-3/8" banebots wheels.
Both together for some scale-

nice, i hope you get the time to work on it. it would be a worthy bot to fight at moto and the ant box does have a steal floor so you could use that extra .15 for some neodymium magnets

Robot build status
Moros(figured out what to call the 30lber): Design is closing in on completion, material sources have been identified. Hoping to have everything on hand by late november/early december. Chassis construction will begin in January. Main delay right now is I need to autopsy Mr. Self Destruct and see what survived or can be repaired. I'm also selling my 260z and if the weapon gearbox is dead it will have to wait till after the sale to be replaced.
Apollyon: Chassis component files have been sent to Team Whyachi, expecting delivery of a full chassis and spare wedge and horns by early-mid November. Once it arrives, assembly should take a long weekend at most.
Kobalos
(Antweight): Looking into machining options, once those have been sorted the necessary parts will be ordered and construction shouldn't take long.
Apollyon and
Kobalos
are drawn up in such a way that if I wanted to, I could easily turn them into a kit, or just let people order their own sets of parts from whyachi/whoever else.

Those are just the axels on the motors in the model, they'll be trimmed off once they've been mounted.

ah ok. further, looks nice. for how far do those claws on top actually come into play with these kind of bots? to me it just looks like something that wouldn't be effective.

They stick out a decent amount, should be enough for catching other bots without much trouble.

Near Chaos Robotics has its first official sponsor, Pelican Products.
For those unaware, Pelican manufactures airtight, waterproof plastic cases that meet U.S. military, NATO, IEC, and ATA standards for waterproofing, stacking, impact, and durability. It's safe to say these are great for hauling/shipping robots and spare parts to events.
