Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

I dont think james will want to put venom in with 360. its too nice to risk geting damaged alot.

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

Nope it's never happened, doubt it will. Venom wouldn't do any damage to 360. Unlike the damage razer could of inflicted on hypnodisc. James uses venom alot for doing demos these days so it's to valuble to him to risk getting smashed. Although I would like to fight it.

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

wonder if Ian Lewis and Simon scott would build a new more powerful featherweight Razer to fight it

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

James (the builder of venom) is part of the razer team... and maybe he is working on something better

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

why didnt 360 self right on the gadget show?

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

was running 4s not 6s, so it wouldn't do it due to the lack of battery power running on the lower voltage. I could of put a booster pack inline to up the voltage to the arm, as i knew going into the fight the self righter wouldn't work, but i knew the producers would prefer it if they won so i didn't bother, the fight looked good for TV, that's all that matters.

If id wanted to win i wouldn't of gone head on at full speed to a robot with only one wheel working and 2mm aluminum side armor

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

i was thinking that the producers didnt want it trashed

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

The producers just wanted a good TV show - and hopefully thats how it turned out
360's brush housing on the astro snapped off actually which was the reason it didnt work after inspection lol - shame as it would have been good to see another hit.

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

Yeah its a pity there was only one hit on it as it meant we couldn't see some combat-induced gyro-dancing; at least they got a few seconds of that in the clip beforehand. And just to repeat what Dave said in the other thread, 360 looked amazing in the pre-fight shots!

Just one question (sorry it's a bit off-topic):
Grant, those scantily-clad women holding up the boards for Fight 1, Fight 2 etc, how come we've never had that luxury when we've been to your events??

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

The selfwrighter wouldnt of worked anyhow grant even if the astro didnt get damaged- like i said it doesnt work on 4s, it doesnt have enough power to run on anything under 6.

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

Ed- can i swing by and pickup my motor and old gearbox at some point, going to just put it back together as it was and run it on the new motor with the old gearbox, its just easyer and i need to prove the motor and esc are going to work reliably before anything is machined...

Few pics from the gadgetshow of 360 doing its break dancing ;
