the new armour is complete, ill put some pics on my site as soon as the internet is working properly.

anyway the armour is all 3mm stainless, new box section frame. it consists of 2 side pannels which each consist of one side 1/3 of the top 1/3 of the back and 1/3 of the front. then in the middle a lifter pannel. each side weighs 2.3kg and both sides are held in with 64 bolts

look forward to causing some damage for once not taking it!

Ive nearly finshed the design of my new featherweight, as yet unnamed.
I thought Id ask peoples opinion before I start cutting metal.
Heres a cad render: http://hyperdynamic.co.uk/images/robots/Iso.pnghttp://hyperdynamic.co.uk/images/robots/Iso.png
and heres more information about the design: http://hyperdynamic.co.uk/NewRobot.htmhttp://hyperdynamic.co.uk/NewRobot.htm

Please let me know what you think. Current weight, as modelled, is 12.5kg. It seems a bit on the light side to me, given its 10mm angled polycarboante armour and 515mm across the diagonal.

For the name, Im considering Loki. I might change it to Loke (pronounced the same) since there used to be a Battlebots team called Team Loki.

Cheers

Mark

Even though theres a lot of tweaking to do on it Ill give the updated specs of Drumroll now that its fully functional:

Name: Drumroll
Weight: 11kg
Power: Two 9.6V 3700mAh Ni-mh battery packs connected in series for 19.2V
Drive: Two 12V cordless drill motors overvolted to 19.2V and connected to 75mm blue wheels
Weapon: A 3mm thick stainless steel spinning drum with two hardox 500 grade teeth welded on. Connected via timing belts and pulleys to two HTI motors also run at 19.2V. Current ratio is 4.8:1 but will be getting reduced to something in the region of 2.5:1 or 3:1.
Control: Two Electronize 15A speed controllers for drive (may upgrade to Scorpion or Sabretooth in due course) and a Victor 885 for the drum motors.
Armour/chassis: 20mm thick Nylon 6 sides and bulkheads, 3mm ali base, 4mm hardox rear wedge and 6mm polycarb top with 3mm polycarb self-righting hoops.
Notes: Finally made an outing complete with drum at Robochallenge Thinktank. Didn€™t do badly but didn€™t excel so some fine-tuning required before its next event.

Hi Jamie so how do you find the HTI motors

[teamshock]

I might as well add our latest one

Name: Aftershock
Weight: 15.8kg (new shell coming next year)
Drive: 2x 18v drills running at 24v on 75mm wheels
Weapon: FP Flipper with 32mm bore 50mm stroke ram (from cutlet)
Speedo: Scorpion XL
Armour/ Chassis: 2mm steel box, 1.5mm welded steel all over with polycarb base
Notes: Finally working after 5 months of talking about it. Ran in the whiteboards at thinktank and flipped 3 out of the arena. Also needs to lose 2.2kgs of weight which means a new HDPE shell is needed.

There is a very old pic on my profile.

Tony, I dont feel they got a decent run-out at the event as my battery packs were never performing to the best of their ability. This was mainly due to me only getting them charged for the first time the night before and then topping them up with fast charge twice on the day. So Ill need to cycle them a good few times well before getting a clearer picture of how the motors truly perform but I am happy with them so far

Thats without a scoop Dave.

Thats still to be welded on. But with kilos to play, I dont see the problem
