Axe test at 100A. Max planned current is 140A.

Ouch, looks vicious.

Always happy to see a presence of axes in modern robotics. Is it reversible? And if so, in what context would you use each side of the head?

Totally reversible. Takes about 3 minutes to flip the assembly. The spike will be the main side for most bots, I could see the axe side being fun against bots with thinner plastic or wood armor, or in a situation where I wanted to go for more blunt force trauma.

There will be a good supply of axebots as long as the sportsman class is going strong. Heck I've been toying with the idea of a brushless-powered axe thing for a sportsman sometime in the future, maybe once I get to college

For that to work you'd pretty much have to go sensored with some massive gear reduction. It'd be cool to see, but brushed is where the torque is.

. What kind of advantage would you get from a brushless motor?

Badnik96 · « **Reply #1034 on:** October 14, 2014, 12:14:48 PM »

TBH i'm not sure. Going on what Mike said it'd be easier to do it brushed. I was thinking some sort of lifter/bludgeon like Sallad.

Wow, sweet work Mike. Can't wait to see it fight.

Sorry bump, are you still making robots? These are great and I love your last one, but it'll be a shame if you're giving it up...
