Why call your robot Boner if not for the endless innuendoes? That one is a gift Gary

Lol I'm running electronizes happily Think boner's disc weighs around the 3.5kg mark. I'll give it a weigh later and let you know. Size wise, roughly 350mm by 350mm.

Time for the intimidation to begin....

Mine should be similar in size. But my drum will only be like 95mm spinning dia at the tips. And only about 180mm wide. And will be made from ali tube. Should be around 1.5 kg. Just making whole bot out of stuff I have already. I'll only have about 100 quid in it so doesn't matter if it gets smashed

Drumroll 2 is 360mm wide by 420mm long but that's from tip to tail of the armour. Effective size (i.e. where all the parts are) is roughly 250mm wide by 300mm. Drum weighs around 2.1kg, so quite a bit lighter than before but hopefully still with enough inertia to get some good hits. So are those other teeth you posted pictures of on FB for your feather then Tom? Thought they might have been for a beetle.

Boner's drum should be around the 4.2kg mark - it's a beast.

I'm cutting it fine as well, I have just taken the robot apart to get the spikes straightend and the 360 hole welded up. the robot works now, but I need to adjust the gyro so it doesn't get 'the shakes' like last time.

Re: 2011 Robo Challenge UK Championships. April 15-17, NEC

Just a quick question. Some robots are seeded, 4 and 9 and missing. I guess 4 was going to be Juggernaut, who was meant to be No. 9?

Re: 2011 Robo Challenge UK Championships. April 15-17, NEC

360 I think?
