Re: Team Eventorizon: Build Diary

unplug the brushless from the rx and see if the drive works without the disc running and shell on...

Tried that today and it made no decernable difference. At this rate Binky is only going to be fighting in one corner of the arena.

On another note... I have got some Titanium TA10 plates to go at the front of Binky as ground scrapers. I am going to have it annealed it get it to stay constantly flat to the floor. But I can't find what temperature I need to heat it to so that it will under go the right transition, and how long I need for it to cool down.

Poke the aerial out of the chassis Old Skool style, but with a modern twist (it'll be tiny).

Re: Team Eventorizon: Build Diary

That is what I have been thinking all along. ^

Is it possible to velcro the rx to one of the armour panels?

Re: Team Eventorizon: Build Diary

Im fine with him fighting in one corner

Re: Team Eventorizon: Build Diary

It is possible if I extend the wires somehow. The problem is that as Binky has such shallow sloped armour, any robot that ends up riding on top if they drive into the side or rear might just take it clean off. I will see what happens with the new RX's

Re: Team Eventorizon: Build Diary

Have you tried the transmitter and receiver away from the robot to get a range check?

[Eventorizon]

Re: Team Eventorizon: Build Diary

Done a full range check as described in the manual with and without armour, just driving one wheel; in case multiple BEC's were messing with the signal somehow.

Run it with and without the HV160 attached with armour on and off. I am almost out of options.

Re: Team Eventorizon: Build Diary

In all of those situations still only a few feet range?

Re: Team Eventorizon: Build Diary

When you get your new RX, make sure you only have one BEC feeding it, before you do any possible damage.

Re: Team Eventorizon: Build Diary

What you should really have got if it is that your armour is blocking the signal is to get the spektrum carbon fuse receivers. http://www.spektrumrc.com/Products/Defa ... =SPMAR6255

They have extra long antenna's so that you can poke them outside the carbon fiber body on planes. You could then easily make up a small block of polycarb that mounts onto the backplate of the robot out the way of other robot's.

It does seem odd that your having issues though.

Re: Team Eventorizon: Build Diary

I will let you guys know when they arrive. That way you may be able to suggest a good process to take.

And yeah its really really odd. For all I know its the univerities WiFi getting in the way but if its not strong enough for my Laptop to pick up a signal where I test then I can't see how its strong enough to kill my signal

On a different note... C3.
[attachment=0:1i1yrm6l]Conker 3.5.1 Internal Clip.pdf[/attachment:1i1yrm6l]
As its stands its at 13.25kg in CAD and I will leave it there as I am missing wires and bolts and stuff is always slightly heavier than you think.
A 3kg, 17.5mm single tooth drum driven by a HK-5035-500kv @ 37V on a 3:2 ratio, making 12'000 rpm at the drum; theoretically. 2x GR02 24V drive with 73mm banebots wheels linked by belts to give 4WD. The chassis is various aluminium types. 10mm 7075 for the outer walls, 10mm 5082 for the inner walls and 16mm Alumec 89 for the drum supports. Base and sloped top armour are 2mm Ti2 (Looking to go to Grade 6) and the other top section is 1.2mm TA10 or Ti64. The front blade is 5mm Ti6.

If anyone can see any glaring issues let me know. I am trying to keep the essence of conker's 1&2 whilest completely changing the machines weight distribution which is well... difficult.

Re: Team Eventorizon: Build Diary

if your going to all that effort you mayaswell get that wedge with some side angles that go down to the floor to deflect horizontals.. as it is, it will just get riped off... the angles should also prevent it getting stuck on its nice flat sides....

otherwise it looks good, apart from the fact that 12000rpm is lame and i thought you'd want to try and out do me? It's all about getting your rpm's into the teen's nowadays

Edit; Also im pretty sure the minimum thickness you can get alumec in is 20mm (ish - comes over size slightly) not sure if you have access to a decent mill to machine it down.

[Eventorizon]

Re: Team Eventorizon: Build Diary

I could go for 1:1 ratio with the HK50, that would mean 18'500 lossless, does that make you happier? And yeah the angled edges are on the 'to do' list when I have done the CAD for my project.
If I can all the 2mm pieces will go to grade 6 as the Grade 2 is a little bendy.

Hmm with the Alumec, I could mill it down. It would take a while but I could get it to exactly 16mm. As an Alumini I can go back to uni so I could have all the pieces milled and finished to exactly 10mm or what ever it may be. Much better fit that way to!

Re: Team Eventorizon: Build Diary

Yeah, thats what Ed Wallace has done for me before. It machines really nicely too. all off 720's plates were skimed down to perfectly 20mm before any profile work was done.

And 18000rpm would be awesome... when it engages lol 720 engages relatively well on single tooth now running 13600ish, i think you could possibly get upto 16000rpm before it causes to much of an issue... (some dissagree)

Also what method of drive are you planning on the drum? Belts?
