Re: Hornet 3

Looking good. Are you going to be using the open source code I've seen some Aussies developing? Seems promising - especially the LED direction-indicator

Re: Hornet 3

I'm using some open source coding yeah. Well initially anyway. This is more of an interest type project for me. I know that boner works well now and can finish in the top ten again and again so I thought I might as well experiment elsewhere. I can also limit it to run at 500rpm and enter it in non spinner events too

If it works well then I will look to modify the coding to allow it to move around normally and then translate at the flick of a switch

Re: Hornet 3

Looking very nice. The concept's been around combat robots for a while and been done, but only by a few machines, and not all of them pulled it off successfully, so it will be interesting to see how yours gets on. And something a bit different is always good. That's my excuse for building a flipper anyway

On a side note, I popped your SSR, that I borrowed at the champs, in the post this morning so should be with you next week (or since it's Royal Mail, you may never see it again )

Re: Hornet 3

I did also think it could be upped to a heavyweight and again spin it at 500rpm. Could get a figure of around 4KJ of energy from that alone (or roughly what hypnodisc had when it first came along).

Lol I completely forgot that you the relay Thanks

I'm glad someone is making a melty brain style bot, should be interesting!
