Team Shock's Robots

[teamshock]

We've got a few new robots coming soon including our new heavyweight which we expect to see in action early next year.

In the meantime I have been working on another new antweight which will entered into AWS 36- Inertia 3.

This one has been made to resemble the featherweight a little more and it has a fair bit of power in the disc as it uses the same setup as Inertia 2.

Here is a quick video of it in action with the disc at 1/2 throttle

And a photo of it with Inertia 2

Looks vicious! Is it hdpe or some carbon fibre the shell is made of on the bot?

Re: Team Shock's Robots

Thanks, apart from the scoop and the disc the whole robot is HDPE, the main part has been milled out of a piece of 20mm to make the shell as tough as possible

Time for a bit of an update as we start our winter projects.

The new heavyweight Soundwave is under construction- need Dad to get his backside in gear and get the gearboxes done

We have a new feather under way as well since Whirlwind has started to suffer a bit after 2 years of service. So here we have Shockwave 2

The ram and valve have been lifted straight from Whirlwind, got a bigger buffer going in and a new drive system using 2 of the speed 900 copies on some custom gearboxes.

Chassis is the old Rip Evo from Jonno and seems to have been made to fit the ram from Whirlwind- fits perfectly!

looks like it is the same size ram that was in it originally !!

Just I had it on low pressure !!

sweet!

Re: Team Shock's Robots

Could well be the same size ram- this one's 60mm bore, 80mm stroke.

I can't wait to see it self right at FP

hope you're having a betting colour scheme

Re: Team Shock's Robots

Who needs paint when you can blind everyone with LEDs??

Re: Team Shock's Robots

Started the gearboxes for Shockwave 2 today- needs a bit more doing to it but you can get the idea.

Re: Team Shock's Robots

thats so awesome, i wish i could make gearboxes
how fast will it be?

[teamshock]

Re: Team Shock's Robots

Thanks Harry,

The calculator says that it should be around 14mph so I'd expect a bit less than that.

If all goes to plan I may be able to get both sets finished tomorrow.

Re: Team Shock's Robots

Done a bit more to Shockwave, the drive is complete- most of the pneumatics are fitted and the wiring has been done,

Here is the first test of the drive on 12v

And some photos of the progress





A few bits left to do but I hope to have it all completed by the end of the week
