Motors are literally $10. But yeah I kinda agree with you.

Its an ant.

nah, that'll probably be fine, look at inertia

Actually Will told me a couple of months ago that the motor has been hit a few times, and he's designing a new one with the motor inside the robot.

Mike look's like he's got the motor slightly better guarded though.

Here's Julie's (my girlfriend) new robot, Klazo.

A few final details to take care of, but it's capable of competing as is.

Nice domed wheels.
Whats next after that?

Next is the other antweight, Algos. I'm picking up the chassis pieces this weekend for an event July 14th. Should be a fast build.

Sweet little drum. I assume it's an ant, correct?

Edit:
Never mind. I saw the latest post. Still a cool little thing.

Here's Algos:

it seriously reminds me of grinding noise from ironbot, but with a smaller weapon width and it spind upward

Turnspeed needs to be adjusted in the AI line.

Weapon seems to be a bit grindy. One tooth or not, that thing is so going to struggle to get a bite on the other guy.

MikeNCR · « **Reply #833 on:** July 11, 2012, 11:22:09 PM »

A bit of the issue is the light weight of the target, but it is a potential issue. One advantage of proportional control is that I can adjust speed easily to find the sweet spot. There are also certain benefits to chewing away at the normally lightly armored underside of the other bots.

I would assume less wear and tear on your weapon motor would be one.

MikeNCR · « **Reply #835 on:** July 11, 2012, 11:38:57 PM »

That is one, lots of little bites is much less shock loading to the shaft, which means lower chance of bending. It also gives me the chance to actively control the match, since having the other bot up on the disk getting ground on means they'll have little to no traction and they'll be taking damage, both of which give me an advantage.

Everything's packed for Clash of the Bots, I'll be rolling out of Atlanta in about 5.5 hours. Time to grab a nap before the drive.

Nice little bot, Mike. :)

Phoenyx · « **Reply #838 on:** July 13, 2012, 11:11:57 PM »

That's a nice robot. Sorry I won't be able to join you, my assistant went A.W.O.L. and my AW robot was in pieces at the time. Good luck at Clash of the Bots.
