Antweight FBS. I'm considering making one. Probably for Moto or Bot Blast next year.

Discuss.

~~The video is private~~

Looks pretty powerful.

try it now

It looks nasty, how big is the actual blade?

Badnik96 · « **Reply #228 on:** July 29, 2014, 01:07:04 PM »

Blade is 6 inches long.

We're going to be moving the wheels inside the chassis so they aren't as exposed.

now with internal wheels

KOS · « **Reply #230 on:** August 02, 2014, 02:03:03 PM »

Wow that looks really nice

Philippa · « **Reply #231 on:** August 02, 2014, 02:09:05 PM »

It looks pretty shmexy there. You should put a picture of Fluffy's internals on top of the chassis.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #232 on:** August 03, 2014, 01:42:29 PM »

Motors are mounted, we need to mill out one of the wheel holes a little bit because the wheel's rubbing up against it. Also we milled off the front edge of the robot so it's harder to catch.

Not very different-looking from yesterday, but here it is:

Nocturne is now fully wired up. Expect a video of it hitting things tomorrow.

Bubbleman · « **Reply #234 on:** August 04, 2014, 07:13:41 AM »

So is that a bar spinner or a block spinner? :P
Looking forward to it.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #235 on:** August 04, 2014, 12:04:56 PM »

The bar isn't finished yet, we're going to be making some big Fluffy-esque teeth for it.

Also I think I managed to kill the one lipo that had enough juice to power this thing, so I'm going to have to wait until the replacement I ordered from Fingertech arrives.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #236 on:** August 05, 2014, 02:10:46 AM »

I lied, the battery charged and we tore up an empty box yesterday.

Since Nocturne will be done in a week or so I've decided to try to push Dodgeball for October. Probably won't happen but you never know.

Speed controller blew up today. So we're ordering another one.

How? Did the batteries blow?

Badnik96 · « **Reply #239 on:** August 06, 2014, 05:23:00 PM »

Nope, no clue what made it blow up.
