Impressive how the inertia of the robot lifts it clean off the ground.

Me and Dan once shot a full can of expandable foam with an air rifle, that was awesome! Didn't catch it on film though unfortunately.

Foam everywhere, and then it started to grow, it was like a horror film.

Re: Team Shock's Robots

it's an alright bot, i'd like it more if it wasn't so flawed.

mini inertia looks cool

Re: Team Shock's Robots

Spent today doing some work to the robots to get them ready for Barnsley.

Shockwave 2 now has some new wheels fitted- thanks to Robochallenge for donating a set of their new competition wheels for us to test- will be trying them out at Barnsley and Whitwick.



Also swapped to A123s in Shockwave to save some weight and space over the Ni-Mh packs so that we can fit some Ti covers on the sides.

Maelstrom now has a new back end and Bosch 400's which seem to be a big improvement over the old motors.

Tomorrow I will be hopefully finishing the Inertia XS fleaweights as well as fitting everything into Inertia 4 (on the right)

Re: Team Shock's Robots

There awsome
Is 0.5mm titanium dont know what grade good enough to withstand that devostating spinner.
Is there any chance you could give like a fact file on interia saying what parts you use?
Think investing in armour is wise
Looks epic

Re: Team Shock's Robots

Couple of updates.

Here is the only pic of Lambda Delta that will be shown before the UK Champs



Also I have finished my smallest ever spinner- Inertia XS weighing in at just 59g!

Here is a video

I hope I'm not against another spinner!

where do the wheels go

Re: Team Shock's Robots

No power light. Tech check fail.....

Re: Team Shock's Robots

Finally got round to putting Inertia XL back together for this years UK Champs.

First job was to weld the front scoop back together as LS4 broke it last year.

Then it was time for some new mounts for the speed 900's as they shattered in the same fight so I made some new steel ones to replace them- also got some nice new blue belts for it



Weight should not be too much of an issue since the Ni-Mh batteries have been replaced with A123's which has also allowed for the disc ratio to be changed (if the new pulleys turn up in time)

Apart from that not a lot has changed from last year- added a better locking bar and thats about it.



Aftershock 4 is also coming along nicely- just one more panel to cut and then wire it up and its good to go.

Lambda needs a lot more doing to it as it has only just been started- the spinner and drive are mounted but nothing else is- the rest isn't too complicated so I reckon another couple of days and it will be running.

Re: Team Shock's Robots

Got Lambda spinning- only at 14.4v at the moment but seems to work

Re: Team Shock's Robots

Didn't you start building a drive all day lifter? Or am I getting confused.....

[teamshock]

Re: Team Shock's Robots

Yes, the lifter is Aftershock 4- bottom right in the above pic

Oooooohh, I understand now.....
