Re: Massacre - FW

erm... if i say 200mm willl you belive me :P

Re: Massacre - FW

It has to clear the wheels so that would be 80mm bare minimum; that gives 5mm clearance on the wheels. But I think it will be closer to 90mm myself.

Going great by the way! This is a really complex build and it seems to be going perfectly so far!

Re: Massacre - FW

Just something to watch out for Mattsdragons - if your robot's 70mm tall and using 75mm wheels in vertible then your likely to have a few issues getting stuck on the arena floor. Although it's the flattest floor of any to drive on, the hardox panels can warp slightly with heat etc and so 2.5mm ground clearence all over may get you stuck at times.

Re: Massacre - FW

That's a bold strategy. By the time the robot has been in a battle it's unlikely to have an even 2.5mm Clearence both sides. It pretty certain you will get stuck at some point. Wy not make a weapon to beat your opponent. Surely a brick with no power can't fight, it just gets hit...

Re: Massacre - FW

I was only having a quick guess but its a 4mm clearence and with the sloped areas at the back to get of wedged plus it bein 6wd and compact I shouldnt really have an issue

Re: Massacre - FW

You could take a strip of inner-tube and screw it it the out side of the wheel. That would raise it up about 2-3mm. Also is cheap/free if you can find a punctured one
