ok this is a beetle that has taken over a year to come to life but its nearing completion so i thought id post up a little about it. its called ravage and its a totally original idea and has nothing to do with getting drunk and watching battlebots. while still slightly merry i messaged a friend who was an outstanding machinist and he agreed to make the weapon.....a 400mm 5mm thick bar.
i had optimistically entered it for the 2015 beetle champs but it never made it and so ended up on the back burner.
roll on Burgess hill 2016 and i get handed this beautiful weapon and attached to it a pulley set up and weapon motor so as you can imagine i was much pleased with said creation and started thinking about it again. i then weighed the entire set up and it came to about 900 grams.
much panicking and thinking later i settled on using an ant weight drive system for it and hurriedly threw money at people to acquire said parts and set to work. i used some 8mm hdpe and some 6mm polycarb to create a base that would be secure enough to hold the weapon in place but light enough to not cripple me weight wise
