Also wish I had the equipment to bend metal like that >.<

Re: Fractal [beetleweight]

Its a good design all round, the weaker version with a carbon fibre scoop actually won AWS 31

Really reminds me of the antweight Shazbot from Team Nightmare. Great job!

Re: Fractal [beetleweight]

I was planning a robot like that, but I might not build one like it now

Re: Fractal [beetleweight]

Changed the arm-servo from the cheapo chinese one to a modified Hitec HS-7954SH. The previous one had stripped a few teeth so I'm hoping this one will be more up to the rather violent motion the arm goes through when 'somersaulting'.

Re: Fractal [beetleweight]

What kind of motors do you use for that weightclass? And where did you get those tracks?

[ewan]

Re: Fractal [beetleweight]

Tracks - http://osbots.com/shop/product/tank-tread-set/ (got a set of soft-rubber wheels too which are actually grippier but the tracks can climb over things.. and look cooler)
Motors - http://banebots.com/pc/MS-16XXX-050/MS-16038-050

Re: Fractal [beetleweight]

You can of course use other motors though!

Re: Fractal [beetleweight]

Thanks, was looking at some motors between the antweight class and drill motors as i wanna build something in between aswell as another project

Re: Fractal [beetleweight]

Swapped out the 11.1v battery for a couple of 7.4's in series, it's very cramped in there but now goes a lot faster!





Still no beetleweight competitions...

Re: Fractal [beetleweight]

if you had enough power in the lifter motors, add some spikes onto the scoop on the correct side then it could double upm as an axe

probably a crap idea but would look dam good

Re: Fractal [beetleweight]

Any videos with the higher voltage and new arm servo running? I just love how the thing looks!
