Team Coolspeedbot: first feather weight robot

[Maxamuslead]

got the same charger and i got THIS, works fine.

[Coolspeedbot]

So I'm using this balance charger: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-...v-capable.html

I was told that a 12v 100w power unit like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DC-12V-24...-/291087849273 should be fine is that true? I want to be sure about it before I get it.

So work has hit a brick wall, I managed to get the back panel/ frame added. Then I realised I didn't have enough threaded inserts so I have one side panel still not fixed on yet. Now I would simply buy more but I need to focus on finding work (easier said than done). Good job my target for completion is extreme robots Maidstone.

Looks very neat, your motor mounts are a darn sight more stable than mine are.

Thanks.

The FW is really coming together. Threaded inserts added to the bulkheads, now top and base plates are bolted on.



Motors are now fully mounted.

[Coolspeedbot]

Motors now fit into the bulkheads and now I’ve done a rough arrangement of the ESCs, power cables and the cardboard mock up of the Lipo battery. Still need to make the back of the motor mounts, get more 20mm HDPE to make the back plate. Once the threaded inserts and new bolts arrive I can start bolting the base to the bulkheads.

1. Thats alot of WKD bottle tops!
2. Ive got the same book, very good. Didn't know Dead Metal was a girl, the more you know.
3. Can I have a piece of chocolate orange?
4. Looks good, the cuts are really neat!

1) My gran parents have me a pack of 10 bottles for Xmas.
2) I was more amazed that they had a picture of the old house robots in storage.
3) No, I already eat it all.
4) thanks the 10mm was easier then the 20mm.

After 5-6 hours of working today I got most of the 10mm and 20mm HDPE cut and drilled. CSB is nearly ready with its bodywork.

The shape reminds me a little bit of Firestorm but obviously shorter. Like it though!

Not sure how you see it as looking like Firestorm.

Comes down to traction really. You can have all the power in the world but if you can't put it down, it is of no use. Your design certainly looks fine, especially it it can run inverted.

I see, well we'll see, it should run inverted but I'll have to test it once I finished making the bodywork.

I think I'll be lucky to out-wedge and push bots about.

That's like the ultimate wedge.
