Nice! That looks really good!

Yep, nice job mike.

Nice!
I read, though, on the Battle Bots forum that it weighs 29 lbs at the moment. How are you going to get the rest of the parts in?

You missed the part where I mentioned that that was with the rest of the electronics placed on top.

Looking fantastic so far. Does the weaponry not move a little bit quickly, with that low of a ratio?

The weapon ratio gives 400rpm and 570lb-in of torque at 24v, so it should be fast and powerful (able to lift twice the weight limit at the end of the long flipper arm)

That's a lot nippier than I thought it would be.

Just curious.

Sweet bot.

What would a pro builder recommend to a beginner for getting started?

This may be the most powerful electric flipper of your weightclass. A flipper attachment that would resemble Toro in a way would be interesting, although you may have to drive the robot backwards for that to work.

It'd be able to lift an opponent on an arm that long (570inlb torque, so up to a 19" arm would be able to lift a 30) but it'd be too slow for a toro style flip. The current longest flipping attachment is 10" long, so it'll be able to lift 57lbs at the tip, which gives enough margin that it should be able to move decently quick.

Can we get a video of the flipper mechanism working?

Philippa · « **Reply #776 on:** January 22, 2012, 01:16:53 PM »

What is the max weight it can lift? Could it lift a middleweight?

Jackpot reply! Woo!

That'll have to wait till I have the top armor, otherwise the arm would get driven right into a motor or the battery.

Ignoring all of the other physics issues, it'd be able to lift a middleweight on a 4.75" long arm if all the weight was right over the arm, so it could probably lift a corner up as is, if it were clamped to the ground. The weight difference would mean it'd be more likely to flip itself into the middleweight, which while funny isn't a terribly useful attack method.

29lb 14.8oz

OK, that looks sick. I assume the two "gear" pieces next to the flipper are meant to attach to each other and form some sort of spinner?
