The Bot Spot: Opening Tournament! | 0 |
Thanks to my friend Dallin for making me actually commit to a beetleweight design, here's my first personal beetle!
This is a horizontal spinner with inspirational ques from Malice (and its beetlweight counterpart Animus), with a short but stout horizontal spinner, and forks! This is also one of the first robots that I'd be building without editing a kit or previous design. There is nothing wrong with that, but this bot will be completely my own!
Parts:
Drive: Repeat Drive Pros (2006, 6s version) directly mounted to banebots 2-7/8 inch wheels.
Weapon: At the time of writing this, undecided. Either the 2812 Repeat Hubmotor, or flashhobby 4215 driving TPU Gears. Weapon Tooth will likely be made from AR500, or S7 if I don't get any surprise bills in the next few months lol.
Body Materials: TPU for the main body, with HDPE Top/bottom plates. Maybe some CF rods in the TPU to help with stiffness.
Battery: I plan on running everything off of a 4S, 850mAH battery. I have options to step up voltage or capacity, depending on how power demands look.
