Looks like it's gonna be dangerous. No surprise there. AW or BW?

HA! Looks like I'm not the only one who uses paper and pencil to design bots.

I hope not. D.D. sucks in all weight classes.

i mean the bl outrunner to the weapon dd.

actually a lot of champion fws aws and bws are dd weapons. most shell spinners, overhead bar spinners, drum/eggbeaters, and undercutters are dd. just look at the builders db.

zipdragon64 · « **Reply #108 on:** August 30, 2009, 04:11:01 PM »

fangus is dd the outrunner is right in the drum, but this will be a belt drive with a 1:1 ratio

turnigy 1900 kv for the weapon, and im switching all my ants to maxons for the drive

zipdragon64 · « **Reply #111 on:** September 12, 2009, 10:04:33 PM »

so i have some more progress on the vd, im very excited about it can\'t wait to finish and test it but i need to get a milling meching first, witch will be another two weeks at least :/ i will most likely cut the wedge points flush but for now they look cool =P

I would leave it like that unless its a weight issue, may keep other bots away from your sides/wheels better.

zipdragon64 · « **Reply #113 on:** September 13, 2009, 06:28:14 AM »

it depends on weight and right now its looking iffy, im very close to over and i don't have everything done yet but we'll see

roboman2444 · « **Reply #114 on:** September 13, 2009, 08:45:46 AM »

awww sweet disc!!
and the weight wont matter much, it looks like he is kind of using a tread setup.

Naryar · « **Reply #115 on:** September 13, 2009, 08:48:36 AM »

That chassis looks pretty cool.

...But what are you going to put on the disc now for damage? Or is that a small tooth i see on the top of the disc in your second pic?

roboman2444 · « **Reply #116 on:** September 13, 2009, 09:05:53 AM »

im pretty sure hes gonna put some teath on it.

zipdragon64 · « **Reply #117 on:** September 13, 2009, 11:04:34 AM »

i haven't added teeth yet because of a lack of a milling meching but they are in the first pic at the point of the left wedge they will stick out from the disc 1/4" and 1/8" on the sides, oh right the disc is 3" in di (3 1/2" with teeth) and weights 4.5 oz

roboman2444 · « **Reply #118 on:** September 13, 2009, 12:20:15 PM »

perfect for an ant
edit: mtf2's wep is only 3 oz, so its a little underweight.

zipdragon64 · « **Reply #119 on:** September 13, 2009, 07:48:10 PM »

i haven't seen it compete yet, do you have any vids
