Events and Spinners

Re: Events and Spinners

I did wonder if support would start to decline as we only host a couple of events a year however like Gary and Jamie said it appears to have increased support. I know of many big teams that spend a massive amount of time and money to build robots specifically for those few events. Weather its the sense of occasion, the full combat, the high profile championships i don't know. But i do agree, I get really geed up when they come around and i hope the roboteers do too.

Re: Events and Spinners

sounds awesome! does anyone know if you could camp next to the museum? suppose i could sleep in the car. as for the fw i might build two robots, one without a spinner for all fw events. from what ive seen though there's not many different types of weaponry used. theres a robot with a flipper or just a box with nothing. i liked that scale model of razor that was cool. i might experiment and see if i can come up with something a bit different. i think i could do a pneumatic flipper but thats boring. does that scale razor run hydraulics ? that would be interesting to have a play with.

i think 'venom' the mini razor runs a custom electrical linear actuator, my crusher runs an over volted linear actuator

Satans Mutt, isn't that the robot from the gadget show? Just noticed it in your list of robots.

Re: Events and Spinners

Yes Satans Mutt is the robot I built for the Gadget Show, we held the event for the filming and a number of teams from this forum attended for the filming aswell - I expect we will be bringing it along for display at yeovil
Keep an eye out for us on there soon again (13th november i think?)
