AW- FireArrow



original size
We will be getting parts and building it ASAP.  Everything relating to help/discussion is done, so I assume this is the right time to start the build topic.

Crosspost from discussion-

Looks like a solid concept. Make sure to doublecheck battery thickness   vs. vertical space in the chassis, it's easy  to miss by just a hair and   have it mess with the whole internal layout.

I'd also suggest   once you get the parts, cut out thin cardboard mock ups of the armor to   do a final fit test before you cut metal. It's also not totally obvious   how the armor fastens together while allowing battery removal, so   that's something to think about while the parts are on the way.

It looks like a wedge...

Ti or aluminum body?

7075 aluminum.

Also, The bot is becoming an inch longer to accommodate the battery.

How thick are your sidewalls? Are you going to tap the armor mounting screw holes or use nutstrip?

I'm pretty sure we're just bolting the aluminum together, I'll ask my dad later tonight.

Also can you take the case off the reciever here?

if so, how tall is it w/o case?

Overall, you have a good design. If I had to recommend one thing it would be to get a lot of driving practice once you have your bot built, or before if you have access to a toy RC car with tank steering and a decent speed. What I've found while working on Battlewagon is that a robot of any size and a decent top speed is going to be somewhat twitchy. You'll need to get used to that.

I've been getting a lot of practice already using botapp, as it uses the same kind of control system.

I still need someone to answer my question before we can start getting parts...

Comparing it to the size of the transmitter, it's smaller than the one I'm using on a yet-unnamed ant. I don't know the specifics, but it's pretty small and should fit your needs. I'd say trim 2.5mm off of each measurement with the case on as a rough estimate.

Crap, I needed at least an eighth of an inch cut off. Now I need an even longer (!?!?) chassis.

The reciever is in a weird shape, what's its lowest point heightwise? If it's any less than .4875" then I don't have to redesign the thing again.

It shouldn't be bigger than that... It's a park-flyer receiver, so it's designed to be used on small RC aircraft.

and if it is too big you can de-solder the pins and solder the PWM cables directly to the board.

Awesome, thanks. I just have to redo the internals then and I'm all set.
