Just done a test of Turbulences new setup, Managed to through an old heavyweight chassis (40kg, similar in shape to Tornado) relatively high. Picture on profile.

Any flipper that can get a robot OOTA is good, why do you have to keep improving it. All it does is give other robots less Arena time

Hannibal has been rebuilt after its last encounter with Kan-opener. We took the opportunity to lower the frame a bit and replace its flipperarm.

Latest pic of swarm on profile now.

Just in the process of machining the wheel box units. Disc is soon to be laser cut (20mm thick, 70cm dia, 1500rpm). The weight of it is sitting at 130lb.

Aiming to have it complete for the UK champs in August. I am also hoping to create a number of different weapons for the rear so that I can enter it in other events.

Couple of questions:

1. Just the two wheels?
2. (If above) four motors for the two wheels?
3. Will horizontal spinner stick out from Etek side?
4. Still on for a vert too?

1) Yup 2 wheels
2) yup 2 motors per wheel
3) There will be an A-Frame at the rear similar to hornet
4) Not this time around but once the disc is machined, dont see why not!

I wanted to directly scale up hornet into a heavyweight. I decided on 2 wheels so that the robot can pivot when it hits an opponent etc, hopefully reducing the shock to the internals. The chassis is not designed as a rammer, just a delivery system for the weapon.

Looks great actually to me.
Anyone fancy helping with my heavy project when I get it going? Once Rhys finds me the bits Im after.

Picked up the disc for Swarm this morning and got the 48330 speedo yesterday for the etek. Latest pic is on profile without drive motors in place.

Well I now have all the bits, lets get it together for August!

what grade hardox is it gary??

[typhoon_driver]

No idea how it will handle. As far as i am concerned, if it moves, Im happy!

No idea what grade it is. To be honest it doesnt matter. 2cm of any grade will do damage and hold itself together.
