Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

I made the cutter on a hand grinder from an old slot drill and re-sharpened it for a final cut.

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

Thats good thinking Mark, skillfull grinding to get each flute the same. It'd be tempted to cowboy an angle grinder on to the toolholder of a center lathe to rough the chamfer shape and then grind the cutters leading edge by hand on the bench grinder. Will have to give milling cutter resharpening and reforming a go with some old worn cutters.

Thats cool Dave u've gotta do some driving upside down now!
Out of interest, how much effective weight do you recon the magnets are giving 540 now?

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

I would love to see 540 fight upside down, I have seen an upside down fight once before; a pair of vaccum sucker robots (Vaccum and SucculAnt) fought on the ceiling at AWS 17, still one of the funniest spectacles.

Side note, looks excellent dave

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

We reconed about 25 - 30Kg extra when we tried at my work.

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

pretty cool, i'd like to see it push multiple bots across the arena in a melee! Guess it'll be like a middleweight in terms of pushing power and grip.

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

Very cool stuff Dave

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

38kg of pull from the magnet then about 12kg of robot, so yeah about the same grip and power as maxus the middleweight I built a few years ago- that battered feathers pretty easy lol
