Title: ACAMS Bots
Post by: ACAMS on June 18, 2008, 01:51:32 PM: As usual, all my bots can be seen at http://myfolderz.com/RA2.php (http://myfolderz.com/RA2.php)

Here are my latest......HW will come next month after the Robot Design Tournament

Here is a MW crawler type bot. It is too unstable to enter a tournament and I have another in the works to replace it.

Here is a design kinda like Technical Difficulties with a weapon on back to protect the rear.

Yes, the chassis is from the contest chassis.

A Sit-N-Spin that breaks away from the Vine Whip design.

I agree:smiley:. Does flipflop have controlled movement? Also is there a reason why you setup the motors like that?

Post by: R0B0SH4RK on October 19, 2009, 01:39:34 AM: 18 or 12 razor tips?

It looks like one heck of an anti-popup spinner.
Title: ACAMS Bots
Post by: Naryar on October 19, 2009, 02:19:30 AM: He can't put 18 razors on there within the MW limit. It might have 14 however...

Anyways, i always had issues with shinies and drive HPZs rotated at this angle.

Post by: Reier on October 19, 2009, 08:28:21 AM: The images! They's huuuuge!
Nice bot 'CAMS.
Title: ACAMS Bots
Post by: somestrangeguy on October 19, 2009, 09:33:57 AM: Nicely made, I can see it having some turning and driving issues with the motors in that angle and them being so close together.

Its only 1440x900! Fits my screen like a glove :-D

Post by: Scrap Daddy on October 19, 2009, 02:23:57 PM: Old man still has it :P

I hate the way you attached the drive however.
Title: ACAMS Bots
Post by: Sage on October 19, 2009, 03:07:53 PM: Did you use a Y connector for the weapon motors? I think theres a lot of wasted extender weight on there, especially since its not invertible.
Title: ACAMS Bots
Post by: ACAMS on October 24, 2009, 11:06:16 AM: I don't know if much weight can be saved attaching the drive a different way, but I tried for quite a while before settling on this.

Post by: Reier on October 25, 2009, 04:18:25 PM: Nice ACAMS...1 or 2 blacks? I had an idea for something close to this a long time ago.
IDK about the wedges...
Title: ACAMS Bots
Post by: Sage on October 25, 2009, 04:37:37 PM: Looks a lot better than your last bot :P

How does it do against other bots? Wedges useful? Caster help against popups?

1 Black, and it does do better without the wedges.....even against popups.

It beats Rabit Pit Bull every single time (3 in 3) with out losing very many parts.

Reworked....

That last bot (Fancy Dancer) does a lot better than you are thinking it does! (you can see it in the tournament I entered)

Post by: infiniteinertia on October 25, 2009, 07:16:04 PM: *poof*

Fort Knocks gets the thumbs up.

And, you can save [at least] 9kg on the other bot...

*poof*
