Eggbeater

Most of my robots are made of wood and have stood up ok so far, just worried about spinners.

You'll be fine. This will probably break on the first hit :P

[daveimi]

I'm not so sure my plywood beetle is going to fare so well...

[harry hills]

Cheers. I'll dig out the manual and see if that is possible.

[Mouldy]

looks great! Id turn the brake function on your esc off though if you can.

[harry hills]

Thank you. It's very bodgey and ghetto'd and really doesn't function that well but It is a step in the right direction. When I have a bit of time (and a boring head) I will start on an aluminium version I think. This one is a much better size, 150mm long by 280mm wide which is still bigger than I would like but its an improvement.

Looking vicious

Made mount and got motor wired in.

[harry hills]

Yep, that style of robot was my inspiration.

Looks a bit like Dominant Mode or Cake from the U.S.

Got some side armour made today. 5mm 6082 aluminium... not the greatest but might last.

Erm I used my hands on the milling machine does that count lol

Yeah, this has occurred to me. It was meant to be aluminium, or even nylon but I didn't have any to hand.

Did you cut the bulkheads by hand? Very neat!

There's not much meat around the bearing slots for the beater, if it's chopping board then it'll likely crack.

[harry hills]

It's looking to handle quite well, at least much better than the first version. Weight distribution is no longer abysmal, but is not entirely unterrible yet.

Will, could you not. I like having the beater in one piece.

Looking very nice! Reminds me that I really need to pull my finger out and get Soundwave running again. Might have to go for the heavier disc this time as the impact could be fun if these meet
