FBS idea

[Max]

Hi,
Could you use a one way bearing (from a bike wheel) to make a full body spinner where the robot spins on the spot (like a melty brain robot) spinning the outer shell, then the robot could stop spinning but because of the one way bearing it would continue to spin and the robot would be free to move around the arena! As long as it spun at less than 500rpm could it then run at roaming robots and robots live events as the spinner is powered by the wheels?

Re: FBS idea

only issue you would have is keeping the friction down to give you some decent drive time but it could be possible yeah

Re: FBS idea

I think that its still a spinner and therefore, still a hazard to members of the public, flying debris etc

Re: FBS idea

It would be legal in the rules though. I was working for a while on a melty brain that spun at 500rpm to run in regular events. Got the disc made, need to finish off the electronics and programming part of the project though
