Bots look very nicely made, well done

Oh, and...

Guess who just got a wedge!

Stats:

11.5lbs (Hobbyweight)
2 18volt Drill motors
4" colson casters
1/8" thick 4130 wedge attached to a 1/2" dia 4130 shaft.

Yes the shaft is going to stay like that so it can't get stuck on its side.

Cool looking bot SKBT

I'm sensing a problem with the wedge. It might fold under itself, making it useless.

I'm undecided about putting a couple of screws in the sides as stops or dremeling out the shaft holes and sticking some 1/8th" key in there. I've still got about 7 months to think about it though. :P

Summer build plans...

30lb:
flipper bot (un named, un decided basically just an idea right now)
Uprgades for Shish: Titanium front armor and wider wheels

12lb:
Nothing really maybe make wheels guards for it?

6lb:
Thing-A-Ma-Bot (I have no clue what to build for Botblast and its probably going to end up being a joke entry made purely for entertainment purposes)

Make a shell spinner! :P

Or you could make a real life EMERGENCY :P

Make a replica of SFTW.

I was thinking more along the lines of a teapot or toaster with a hammer for the 6lber but shell spinner is defiantly out of the question because of my lack of machining ability.

I would pay to see a real SFTW.

You stole my idea!

On topic: Maybe you could give Shish more power, like a pair of 150-Ampflow motors.

I'm already pushing 4 hp with what I got in it now. I might switch to dewalts though but that would require a bigger vantec and a battery with more capability.

Just FYI, in Apollyon I'm running 18v dewalts on 6s with the Holmes Hobby SC, and in Moros, 5s with the same speed controller. They work well and aren't too pricy at $100 a piece.

Paint the toaster like the thing in my avatar and you have youselves countless fans sir :P

Were they the ones you were telling me about at the Franklin?

Could you give me a link to them?

Wouldn't bother with the waterproofing option, and they've been hilariously durable. Only failure was a direct hit from steel shadow.
