Team Mutually Assured Destruction
« on: July 23, 2012, 07:59:07 PM »
My first bot (still a WIP):


It's name is "Slim Pickens".

Would these make for good armor?

from what i've seen garolite tends to work great till it catastrophically fails. I'd go with thin (less than) 1/16" ti or steel.

also come up with a better team name...

I want to stay in the weight limit, so I was worried about how the other materials will work.

You can buy pre made packs at your required voltage, don't use over 6 volts without using a bec though or you will blow your reciever

From a first impression, the kit's chassis looks far too weak. I'd make your own chassis from better materials. Most of the parts look suitable though, though I really would reccommend upgrading to lipos.

Not so sure about team names, but I suppose that if you built a HW, you could call it the Bear Jew*   =P





*Just in case you're wondering, it's a reference to Inglourious Basterds

I'm going to make a better top.

This is the mockup for my bot's armor. I might add wheel guards if possible.

im pretty sure its just a mockup of the shape....... noone is seriously THAT dumb to use tinfoil armor
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.
