Re: Team Avenger build diary

its only a basic ram bot, but do ya think you could run 2 drill motors off some 30a esc's?

Re: Team Avenger build diary

Probably, At the champs I ran the drills off 2 15A Electronize and a Scorpion XL which I think is 12.5A per channel, and they didn't blow (well, not because of the motors anyway...) so I would guess they would be ok.

Re: Team Avenger build diary

mabey even 2 15a with 25a fuses

thats what jamie does for drumroll running it al 19.2v

Re: Team Avenger build diary

Jamie uses a Scorpion XL in Drumroll II.

Re: Team Avenger build diary

Re: Team Avenger build diary

I'll take your word on that, but I don't know. In answer to your question though, if you're going with a similar setup to what Jamie used (15a electronize and drill motor on 19.2v) and what Cicaxtrix rear pod used to use then it worked for that, so I assume it will work for you. One of my electronizes did go on fire, and the other died (surprisingly the one that went on fire survived) but they did work. The Scorpion was far easier to work with I found.

Re: Team Avenger build diary

with 30a driving 2 motors at 12v i dont think we will have that problem

Re: Team Avenger build diary

You will if you do what I did and connect the BEC to a live wire

[mattsdragons]

Re: Team Avenger build diary

ah, that would cause some MASSIVE problems

Re: Team Avenger build diary

Just a small fire after a collision with Tiny Toon, but the speedo survived.

Re: Team Avenger build diary

lian came over this weekend and we didnt get much robot building done, too busy riding down hills very quick on bikes

first, i couldnt weld my nuts to the plates i needed too use for ReAvenger (nuts and bolts style nuts, not the other kind ) since i found they were ali, not steel and trying to weld the two together is impossible!!!!!!!!!!! so i need 12 new STEEL nuts and bolts

Although, we did finally decide on a design for lian's new bot, but ill leave him to do the talking on that

And a steel company from around here are amazing and let my rumage through the skip of theirs and in doing so we found an old push lawnmower with cast iron body shell, so that is very helpfull

I'll take over here Matt thank you

The current concept we have for Avengeress is to go for a Maelstrom shaped bot, no flipper, just a wedge. I also have
a flipper bot idea, but it has to wait

Re: Team Avenger build diary

got nearly all the wiring done today and by next week i hope me relay will be here. if it it then in the next 2-3 weeks, i should have something i can drive and make my actuator move, but designing the claws will have to come later

Re: Team Avenger build diary

Update time.

Avengeress is gonna have a repaint. Black and Orange. Hopefully get something done with it

[mattsdragons]

Re: Team Avenger build diary

another update for me

got my drive systme working... sort of. the motors are turing but only one will respond to the RC gear

also, i aint figured out which channel is my actuator yet so that will take some time aswell

give me a week or 2, 3 at the most and you will see a robot back in my ownership
