slight bump, I have a question-

Are you making a mantis? it says so on the buildersDB...

SKBT · « **Reply #181 on:** July 07, 2012, 05:26:27 PM »

I've got something... right now its a pile of parts but I'm keeping it under wraps until after the event.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #182 on:** July 07, 2012, 06:03:42 PM »

A primitive example of a blueprint. It was found inscribed on the wall of a cave in the region of southern Egypt.

All very precise, though. Hopefully there's not too much in the way of errors.

are they plans for wheels ?

It will die a glorious death tomorrow...

Looking quite good, it's been built almost in the style of your RA2 bots. Hopefully it should do reasonably well, I wonder if wheelguards of some description would have been useful.

Sweet. Is there a Dick Dastardly to go with it or is it just Muttley?

Yes there was. Dick Dastardly was a horizontal spinner built by a guy who used to be on here (zipdragon64)

So... now about how the event went.... Dick Dastardly/Muttley fought as a 6lb multibot and went 0-3 at BotBlast. It was fun though all its fights were very entertaining.

I fully support the use of a large bash bar... RA2 or IRL

yeah... about that... it got a wheelectamy pretty much every fight. Wheel guards will be added before it fights next.

Always wondered where Zipdragon went off to. Shame you guys lost every fight.

Now with wheelguards....

R1885 · « **Reply #193 on:** August 17, 2012, 08:13:18 PM »

Odd, the only damage I see are the wheels on the back.
Also, I love the use of extra lite flites(Lets see who else knows what I'm talking about)

Badnik96 · « **Reply #194 on:** August 17, 2012, 08:40:51 PM »

Yeah, the shock absorber wheels are a nice touch.

It's got a couple of nice gashes on the bottom and a few small dents in the bash bar.

the rubber vibration isolating mounts that most people use felt too stiff for a 3lb and I had a couple of 1.25" lite flites in my toolbox and then that happened.

SKBT · « **Reply #196 on:** September 06, 2012, 05:49:54 PM »

I was talking to MikeNCR on FB and then this idea happened. This is just a quick sketchup sketch to get the idea out.

I'm thinking 30lb pneumatic front hinged launcher.

HF drill drive 3" wheels, low pressure, maybe 2.5" bore ram cause I have one lying around.

Somebody · « **Reply #197 on:** September 06, 2012, 07:32:51 PM »

I would go with a shallower front wedge, but I like the design.

SKBT · « **Reply #198 on:** September 24, 2012, 03:00:14 PM »

possible 3lb

burshless motor in disk

R1885 · « **Reply #199 on:** September 24, 2012, 03:07:39 PM »

Why the motor in the disc? Why not use a belt?
