The drive motors couldn't really take the stresses involved and broke, i'm looking into making a stub axle which will take the forces instead of the motor shaft

Ye I got the video ready to upload. When that disk engages it has some seriously crazy force behind it. Still not as good as sloth.

How have you made the pneumatic valve for Flange ? In antweight pneumatics we always have trouble finding valves for the systems, just curious how you made yours.

I can't wait to see some proper beetleweight combat

Looks incredibly powerful, how are you guys going about keeping it on its wheels, or at least getting it back there after each hit?

Re: UK Kilobots - 1.362kg (3 lbs) Combat Robots

It should only take one hit if Kenny engauges you with that disc you pretty much f@@ked any way It's got a lot of force behind it

Re: UK Kilobots - 1.362kg (3 lbs) Combat Robots

Thats a good way of thinking about it Dave

Re: UK Kilobots - 1.362kg (3 lbs) Combat Robots

But it could go the other way n he could throw him self out of arena but if it has engauged you the damage is not going to be pretty

Re: UK Kilobots - 1.362kg (3 lbs) Combat Robots

Ye its got some right force behind it. I wouldnt want my robot getting hit by it. But that wont happen cos its crap and ill just mess it up with sloth. Now thats a robot to worry about, Sloth is one dangerous machine, Its like the honey badger of the robot world, Cos yall know Honey Badger dont give a F##K!
Kinda wish this was twitter right now so I could do #HoneyBadgerDontCare

I thought the arena didn't have an OOTA area?

If it's a polybox Cobra could just keep coming at cha' Cleopatra!
