Re: Mr.Pink

that's a very professional seperating device called a brush
the axe on little hitter is super strong though to get stuck in cobalt that deep.
is that at full pressure?
Lewis if you need gears technobots mod. 1.5 are on sale and most of em reduced.
a 40t gear is only a £5 and they're solid 17mm steel.
they won't fit with mod 1s though.

Re: Mr.Pink

Cobalt was already limping a bit by this fight thanks to it's previous one with NST.
I'm saying though, in a competition that's so popular with flippers it did very well (defeating flippers along the way!) to reach 4th and not have a scrimech.

Unfortunately it also had weak top armour and horizontal sides which LH and NST loved!

Just goes to show how important reliable drive and good driving skill are.

I dunno what you're talkin' bout......

I'll stop spamming your build thread now....

Re: Mr.Pink

20t to 90t gives you greater torque than 20t to 75t. The 75t change will give you more speed, and you will lose torque.

Well that shows how paranoid and knowledge I am about gearing

Any photos of the inside?

It needs some sort of self righter, looks like it would be hardy enough for full combat

I probably can fit a self righter in Mr Pink. I just need to rearrange the motor and speed controller's. But I don't have the knowledge and tools to make a self righter.

I get my gears form Technobots and getting mod 1.5 is more of a downgrade, if I want more speed I can just put in a 14v or 18v LiPo battery.

Re: Mr.Pink

I can't say I know of any FWs that have a dedicated self righter.

I know Dave (360) tried but ran into loads of problems, it's all on his build diary if you want to have a look.

Re: Mr.Pink

Update

Well the Pink is up and running, so what's changed? Well... not a lot.

New ground clearance of 7mm I want it to be 5mm but I got 7mm.

New bulkheads.

The armour is now welded together and now Mr Pink has a 3mm mild steel top with polycarbonate windows.

why? ok the lie is, is to make it look cool, the truth is it's was overweight

All that needs to be done is screw on the top and put on the new paint.

Re: Mr.Pink

Event Report

There is not much to say. The new ground clearance give, Pink the ability to move about freely in the arena.

There are two problems at this time

1)I need more practise on driving and it don't help, the fact that Pink is a bit more twitchy with the wheels more free now.

2)This is the biggest problem I need a self righting mechanism but that requires a rebuild or a custom actuator.

At the end I'm quite happy with him but, when I get Mr. Purple built, I feel he may replace pink in the future.

Oh and I like to thank Alan and the Robots Live staff for putting on a great event. And thanks DAVE for jinxing me, Cobalt was there!.

Re: Mr.Pink

Awesome!

Are you holding back a bit on the throttle? With Speed900s I would have thought it would have a load more speed and power.

Re: Mr.Pink

There are time's when I went full throttle but most of the time, I'm turning or in a robot pile up.
