I think some rubber pads might make the shuffler grip a little better.

AWW SWEET!! thanks for finding those, and i do have grips on the shuffler its just slow :P i also had some electronics gremlins during szalors match makeing it so the left side wouldn't drive forward but i just improvised

Hmm, it seemed like it was slipping because in your original tests it seemed faster if I remember correctly.

Why does Ripto bounce so much, is he like a crawler?

R1885 · « **Reply #171 on:** November 22, 2009, 11:21:52 PM »

Shuffler.

zipdragon64 · « **Reply #172 on:** November 23, 2009, 07:26:09 AM »

ya the original version was a very fast and smooth o-ring tank dive but it was 4oz over weight so now it shuffles, takes away all the speed but has a massive intimidation factor

ZipDragon, are you going to build a robot for the 2010 Battlebots event?

zipdragon64 · « **Reply #174 on:** December 12, 2009, 07:45:29 PM »

that depends on where it is. i plan on going to robogames 2010 with a fleet and im also trying to get ready for moto, i should be taking 4 bots. i'll try to post up some progress here soon.

i don't have any plans on building at that weight class but if its close i might go as a spectator

My metal fab and the mechanics class are teaming up (UCLA) and the Dean is still trying to approve the budget and we'll be constructing a 109 pounder for the event.
