Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

80mm as I said... Height of the robot. 14tooth pulleys

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

so... the robot is 80mm and he wheels are 80mm, wouldnt that mean the wheels dont touch the ground?

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

:| ... You asked for the height of the robot... It's invertable... So the highest point is the top of the Tyres... Which is 80mm from the ground. It has 5mm ground clearance top and bottom.

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

Natural enough to understand the height of the bot as the height of the chassis. For some reason I did it too, lol. Must be talent. :wink:

Bot is looking as sleek and lovely as ever. Can't wait to see what it can do. My only fear is that 2.2KG isn't all that much in drum terms, is it?

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

It'll be okay... Just a bit of fun. 360s my damaging spinner anyhow...that's 5kg@5000rpm

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

its got the pushing power aswell, the drum just makes it that little bit more interesting

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

I wouldn't sniff at 2.2kg for a spinning weapon! Drum or not, that's gunna hurt!

Also have any of your seen 540 in action? It could have a sponge on the front and it would kick arse! If it lasted 3 minutes without destroying itself that is................

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

not done an update in ages, not really done much...

got a plate of D2 tool steel and milled it down to 25mm thick at robochallenge HQ;



then droped it of to draftek (http://www.draftek.co.uk/) who are based down the road from me who water jet the beater out, as per the cad i sent them... it turned out like this;



...next to the bot;



hopefully poping to ed's tomorow to put the bearings into the bearing blocks, then back to robochallenge to turn the beater edges down to a round profile to fit in... not long until it should be spinning.

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

wow, that is a beatuful machine you have there, what kind of damage do you think you'll do with that?

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

What's your thinking with the beater's shape Dave? Looks a little like a space invader!

[Mouldy]

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

@Harry... not much...hopefully it will just flip other robots in the air and chew em up a bit...

@PJ... duno it just turned out that way... didnt want to go for the normal hollowed out box shape of all the US beaters...i like it.

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

more progress;

Im upgrading the drive from dewalts to speed 900, mainly for reliability reasons... and because i want it to be faster then it currently is in low gear... so with the help of Dennis Martens this has been drawn up, and the parts ordered;





prototype gearbox plate machined on Dennis's home made cnc;



...they should mate up with the original mount for the dewalts, so will be totaly interchangeable.

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

Beater mounted;


Few bits n bobs to Finnish up and it'll be ready for a spin up

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

nice! what's happening with 360? does it still work?

[Mouldy]

Re: 360 - mini hypnodisc

its stacked away, needs some work doing... a lot of the threads have stripped in the disc mount, needs new brass gears for the drive also...ill re-build it, but it will probably only be used in white boards/demos etc... ill use 540 for competitions now.
