Going to be ordering parts for FireArrow V2 and Landshark (mantis wedge) tonight. Can't wait for everything to come in.

Pointy.

Nocturne spins! Turns out the extra washer we added put too much friction on the weapon. Now it works perfectly.

Today I opened up and cut off the connectors of some Vextrollers I had lying around. They'll be going into a tracked antweight drumbot I'm making for an ARC friend. Still need to finish modding them.

Drive system for Scarab (the tracked drum) is done. Uses the 22:1 sparks I won at bot blast last year (which are being discontinued, so I figured I might as well use them) and some vextrollers I got back when Nocturne's original vextroller blew. Now to wait for the rest of the parts...

It begins.

Wired up the new drive system for FireArrow v2. It's fast as hell.

Here's a first look at what FireArrow V2's gonna look like. There will be UHMW wheelguards wrapped around the wheels but I couldn't do them in Rhino.

Also, Nocturne is back up and running after Moto. I'll take a spin test video tomorrow.

Did some more work on Landshark today. The serrated sawteeth are finished, and every piece is now cut. The main wedge still needs to be milled, however. Also, the robot still can't drive because the pinion gears aren't the right size to fit the motor shafts, and my dad doesn't have the right tool to fix that at the moment.

Hopefully over the next couple of weeks it'll get wrapped up.

Say hi to Landshark. Don't worry, he's friendly unless you weigh 6lbs and happen to be a fighting robot.

Thats one hell of a washboard there.

The wedge doesn't look that wedgy :o

Badnik96 · « **Reply #294 on:** July 08, 2015, 05:08:11 PM »

the wedge is 1/8 in steel and it takes up more than half the bot's weight

i win the wedge contest

bot blast was fun

FireArrow went 2-2, beating Ophidian and Dark Blade and losing to Satan's Segway and Dark Pounder. It held up perfectly and it just needs a new wedge for next time.

Nocturne also went 2-2, but its two wins were forfeits. It lost to Gemini and Colsonbot (!!!), of which the two fights were about eight hours apart. I've decided to retire this bot in favor of better things to come.

Landshark beat Catapult in round one, but his hit on my wheels shattered a gear in that gearbox, and due to things (like the ebay seller running out of motors so i couldn't order spares) it ended Landshark's day, leaving it at 1-2.

Due to how silly the brackets turned out, despite the massive disparity in the number of fights FireArrow and Landshark had, they both finished in fifth. Don't ask me how that turned out.

champions were Gyroscopic, Mondo Bizarro and One Fierce Bushwhacker

now i need to sleep. pics will be up sometime soon
