More people should put in the effort to give their bot a cool paint job. Turns an otherwise plain wedge bot into a real eye-catcher.

The chassis parts are supposed to arrive tomorrow so I'll likely be working on them this week when not doing family things. There was a fair bit of machining that still had to be done, but designing for waterjetting cut a lot of cost out, putting the chassis for both Kobalos and Moros at $951 shipped. I suspect I will go the same rout for Apollyon should it be due for another chassis any time soon.

Over 800 quid for a Featherweight!?

Do you win any money back from these events? If not, that is some addiction to Robotics right there.

Well, at the last BBots I won 4 full licenses for Autodesk Inventor Professional, retail is $2-3k per license, so sorta.

Chassis pieces for Moros and Kobalos came in today.

can't wait to see the end result.

FOTEPX · « **Reply #467 on:** December 21, 2010, 06:10:47 PM »

Yeah, me niether...

Oh yeah, Mike, here's an idea: Ever thought about making a VS?

MikeNCR · « **Reply #468 on:** December 21, 2010, 06:23:56 PM »

I have, and I may make one at some point, but it'll be after I'm done with the bar spinner. I've got ideas for a few different types of bots I'd like to make down the line.

FOTEPX · « **Reply #469 on:** December 21, 2010, 06:27:37 PM »

Cool, cool. Yeah, finishing the bar spinner after the succes of Reaper (If you made that, I don't know) is probably the best idea right now. A flipper, Vertical Spinner or Drum Spinner would be nice to see. Hope i'm not being too picky...

Reaper doesn't ring any bells.

I think he means Ruiner

Yeah, sorry :P

MikeNCR · « **Reply #475 on:** December 23, 2010, 01:32:34 PM »

Got a bit done today-

G.K. · « **Reply #476 on:** December 23, 2010, 02:21:52 PM »

How much does one of those mini appollyon's cost to make?

MikeNCR · « **Reply #477 on:** December 23, 2010, 02:30:24 PM »

Didn't get a part breakdown from Whyachi, but the chassis for it and the chassis for Moros was $951, so I can't imagine it being too much.

MikeNCR · « **Reply #478 on:** December 23, 2010, 07:32:02 PM »

A bit more progress-

FOTEPX · « **Reply #479 on:** December 23, 2010, 08:20:11 PM »

Oh my god tha looks like so much win, but, 950 dollars for that!? Come on, man, Whyachi's ripping you off. I could probably get the parts for around 600 tops, and they would be of high quality.
