Team Hunt

[WhamettNuht]

Hey all!
Yes, i may be a robot builder on Robot Arena 2, but i am also a builder in real life! :-D
I currently have 2 robots:
Hunter-FW-(In building process, but nearly there!)
BrilliANT-AW-(it is <(x_x)> basically!)

My friends and I are currently planning our own ants.
Heres a list of planned bots:
BrilliANT 2-AW-(My ant, flipper)
Gasket-AW-(My friends ant, plain servo pusher)
Hunting Dogs-FW-(Cluster bot, me and my friend drive it, plain pusher)
I have a video of Hunter on my You Tube account, called "My robot Hunter so far"
My account is on my sig.
I will upload pictures ASAP.
If anyone has some comments or ideas, let me know!

thats cool. can't wait for your <(x_x)> AW!

[WhamettNuht]

<(x_x)> means dead...
It wasnt even an antweight, it was 200g! (Not sure what it is in pnds)
I have a few picutes, including onw that i forgot to mention, which was a try-out robot.
Pictures coming soon.

[WhamettNuht]

Here are some pictures:

Thats Hunter at the moment.

This is my old robot, Trauma.

And this is my <(x_x)> AW BrilliANT.

Awesomely huge  images.

cool bots though. Trauma a flipper?

[Reier]

Cool bots, what do they use for batts, motors, etc.? I like technical stuff. =P

[WhamettNuht]

Trauma wasnt even that, id say more of a lifter, it was just a try out.
Here are the stuff we use for Hunter:
Motors (Not sure what they are, lol!)
We use some batteries that you would use in security systems.
We are currently using a sabertooth speed controller.
And the armour is aluminium that my dad got from his old work place.
Hunter is nearly over weight, which is scary! (13.??kg at the moment out of 13.6kg!)
Hunter is also (Now this is very interesting) on his 4th design, 1st bot, 4th design.
The first was an axe, but the axe broke itself in testing.
The next was a wedge similar to what he is now, but with another edge on the back the other way round so that we could still ram when up-side down.
The next was a plain box on wheels with interchangeable weapons, but that wouldnt turn!
So now we have this design.
It turs ok-ish, you have to get a bit of speed up before you do a 180' turn.
Hunter is EXTREAMLY fast, i'll try and put another vid up soon.
We have nothing to try it out with (Like a small TV and see if he can break it)
He could probably do well in combat, just run around the arena and hit anything that is unlucky to be infront!

[Naryar]

you should definitely add static weapons to hunter (or reinforce the front armor) and make it a good rammer. he's already very fast.

for gaining weight, you could weaken the rear armor if you drive really well.

[WhamettNuht]

Im ok at driving, i started at an early age!
Its not if im a good driver, if we out something like polycarb at the back, it would just crack on impact if we get flipped, and we are more likely to get hit from the back, we will be facing up to 8 other robots in the arena! (Im in UK)
We where think about adding some spike to the wedge, but it would just increase the weight.

[WhamettNuht]

Hi all.
Good news, got Hunter working, testing him today.
Hope to get video during the time.

[System32]

Uk? Yay! Do what naryar said about the front. Perhaps a small ram spike?

[WhamettNuht]

On Hunter?
I only have a kilo left of which to put the back on and any other stuff requierd out of a maxumim of 13.6kg!
I works better as a full-bod hammer, you should see him in action (I havent yet, but ive driven it on the floor of the garage, and WOW!)

[WhamettNuht]

Sorry, to bump but yes today is Hunter's first dabue!
I'll be leaving at 3:30pm today, when the show starts at 6pm (thats 2hours 30minutes of safety c, woo...)
I'll be taking pictures, video, ect. of the event, so hopefully i can get back to you lot with a report on how i did!

[WhamettNuht]

And another bump.
I've had 2 events now, and i have another on sunday.
Good news, HUNTER HAS 2 WINS!
Video from brentwood (1st ever event)

Video from Aylesbury (The winning event)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJdPoirJFLE&feature=related
(Yes, that is me at the start of the second video!)
We've been updating Hunter since Aylesbury, heres what we've been doing:
Put a new reciver in, Spektrum, much better than Futaba.
Replaced the back, it got SERIOUSLY bent, it looks liek we got hit with a spinner! (Look:)
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/67858IMG_1864.JPG
We've been putting some new batterys in Hunter, some modded Drill batterys.
Also, BrilliANT 2 and Baby Chuzzle are our now extinct AWs, pics:
BrilliANT 2:
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/79734BrilliANT 2.JPG
BrilliANT 2 turned out to be a pusher, it entered Brentwood, had quite a few fights there, but got so tired out we needed a new AW.
Baby Chuzzle:
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/59107Baby Chuzzle.JPG
Baby Chuzzle entered Aylesbury, it was built in a rush as some of the other roboteers wanted me to come along with an AW in hand.
BC had 1 fight then the motors burned out (doh!)
I hope to make a new AW soon, called Son Of The Hunter (SOTH for short!)
Hopefully this AW migth be a flipper, if not then a pusher is alright.
I'll get back to you all with how my next event went, which is at Guildford (Google maps, lol)
Thanks

Heh. Never knew spambots can reply in Chinese (and what it said still doesn't make any sense). XD

Oh, and I can't see your extinct AWs (your links are wrong). D:

[WhamettNuht]

Yeah, you need to highlight the whole link, then paste it in the url bar.

[GoldenFox93]

I'm looking forward to how the new robots will turn out, Wham. I mean, they should be pretty good at least, if your first attempt at a FeatherWeight can beat "Pain in the Asp"!  = P

[WhamettNuht]

Thanks GoldenFox for keeping this thread alive :D
Thought i might aswell update the old Team Hunt section.

Team Hunt are now up to 2 robots, with a 3rd expected for 2010.
So, here's a summary of how the robots are faring...

Hunter:
Doing very well.
Infact, he is the only robot currently running!
All bugs have been fixed to the best of my ability.
Some of the fixes include new reciever, battery and replaced 2 of the wheels.
He is running perfectly for Maidstone, next month.

Little Patience:
Team Hunt's best AW by far!
He had his first event in September, coming 1st in Death Ball along with 2 other ants, 2 wins in the non spinner combat and 2nd in the Annhiliator.
All in all, a very succesful event, winning the best newcomer award aswell.
Here is a vid of LP in action:

Plus a bit of trivia: Little Patience is named after a popular trait of mine :) (Even though some would disagree)

Artemis:
Team Hunt's new FW for 2010.
Artemis will be a high pressure flipper.
So far we have the pnumatics in, and all we need to get now is motors, steel, batterys ect.
Plus the design is down aswell.
It looks a bit like a slightly squashed Hard, with the wheels at the back, making a bit of a Firestorm/Iron Awe 5 effect.
A fairly good design, should all hopefully work when it comes together.
But for now we just need to get all of the parts in :)

Also soon i might be getting FleaWeight (under 75g and must fit into a 3 inch cube, yes, very small!) called Erebus.

So, the next update will be after Maidstone in November.
Till then, cya!

[JoeBlo]

Also soon i might be getting FleaWeight (under 75g and must fit into a 3 inch cube, yes, very small!) called Erebus.

awesome, did you have see Ian Lewis's fleaweight ? it was more of a joke robot he turned a razor toy into a operating robot :P

I wish Australia had robot competitions, it would be so much fun, its my ambition to win lottery and start one in Australia haha, makes you wonder why Marlin Pritchard moved down here haha

great work Wham

[WhamettNuht]

Thanks Joe :)
I remember Razler, it would be great to fight him if he was still around...
