Removable link mount

[webby]

Laser cut this today, made out of acylic

Would anyone be interested in buying them? If so, for how much?

[webby]

I was thinking around £5 ??

Hello! I would have a few off you! And a fiver sounds fine.

[webby]

Great! I will produce some now I know I have some interest! It may be in a few weeks time though.

Hows about this becomes my first ever bot purchase? We all need 'em. I'll have a few as well.

You would be better using EC5 connections. Swapped boners from the deans to EC5s. Better current capacity and they don't come loose as easy in battle.

ive switch to xt60 as my link due to the deans falling out at GLS

[webby]

Yeah I might do in the future but the current popular ones are deans.

I know there may still be better ways of doing a removable link than a Deans Connector, but everything I've built for my robot so far revolves around this. If you are still making them with a Deans I'll have a few off you as it's another pre-built bit that I don't have to worry about.

It's people like you, Ewan, the Robochallenge guys, Dimension Engineering etc and the members of this forum in general that have made it possible for someone like me to have a bash at building a Robot.

Lot's of robots lost fights because their links fell out, which is a really crap way the lose, but it happens far too often!

I'm not sure deans are to blame, but I will say the tabs do wear flat over time and the link becomes loose so be weary of that.

100% agreed, by far my favorite connectors. And easy to solder as well.

[Eventorizon]

Simply because of their current capacity and the amount of friction there is in the design to stop them coming loose I would design for EC5's

Of course nothing is 100% gaurenteed to work but I beat Nightfury by knocking out its link and several others lost this year for the same reason.

Then again with a laser cutter you could do one for each kind with no problems at all!

Had a look on Robochallenge website, and they sell EC3 connectors. What is the difference between EC3 and EC5? All replies welcome.

EC3 has connectors that are 3mm diameter, and EC5 has 5mm connectors.
