Twisted Sick Robotics-Antweights

its mostly garolite and some polycarb, and i made the disc on the lathe i bought here just 2 weeks ago

I figured that's what they were for!

just wanted to update this, i've gotten about as far as i can till i get my mill i hate waiting on stuff to ship so i started redesigning fangus with a bigger drum and some other changes i'll have some pics on that latter for now heres this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WFPGtpWf18&feature=channel_page

on another note i've been redesigning fangus and am torn between two designs i like the one design better, but at the same time i really want to try the other one. I'm looking forward to imput so feel free to post something and let me know what one YOU like better
and i'm increasing the drum/beater size to 2 1/2" instead of the old 2"

top picture left side i think would be easy to drive, but thats just speculation

I like the one with wedge capability.....as long as it doesn't get hung up on the floor too badly....similar to my 3 lbs Sting and MLEC's 15 lbs TTATT

You drive it at angles to promote getting under other bots, even wedges and if you can lift them at all, it's 'bounce them off the roof time'...if you can create the joules....

If you watch enough wedge vs wedge fights, factors such as the floor, gyro, and whatever = a mix bag of trading who gets under the other, even against good wedge designs.

jmo and I don't know much

I like the wedge design, just make sure that the corner isn't just floating out there like it is now. chances are, somebody's gonna grab that and bend it. make sure that your top/bottom plates attach to that somehow.

ya im going to have a solied piece of poly there, these arn't 100% accurate there just to get the point across. i want to try the wedge design, but at the same time for some reason i like the other design a little better so idk maby ill build bolth

mentioned reasons are the only reason id say round front, i like the look of the wedge alot

I like the wedge design just cause it IS a wedge. They both look good though.

got my mill the other day and just put the teeth in ripto's disc today and i've been working on fangus's new drum/beater

wait... seriously? you modified a motor?

did you glue the an into that Al disk? woah...

ya pretty simple mod really, thats the old fangus motor that got the crap beat out of it, the 3mm shaft got bent and the mount bracket got crushed in a little witch you can see in the pic. all i really did was pop the motor can on my lathe and take off the gold neck part so all that was left was the silver magnet ring witch i press-fitted into the weapon hub, then i knocked the bearings out of the stator witch i am replacing with larger ones, and to top it off im going to run a 3/16" ti shaft through the whole assemble making it a one piece weapon

I like the way your doing it compared to how people usually press fit them into the drum. It would be pretty cool on your next version of ripto too

ya i've been thinking about it, it would get ride of alot of excess junk. i just need to design the disc right

all in time

very cool. :]

i got my maxons and instaled them already heres driving

as always i need to charge my batts

i'm already thinking about how im going to rebuild it but as Cody said all in time

How are you looking on weight on it and how much does your disk weigh? you dont see many ants with 4wd and weapons

edit: then i read the other forum lol

that thing hits like a freaking beast, man!

and now it should make weight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPyoM_WY_Xs

it shuffles! I like it. how much weight advantage do you get in an antweight for a walker?

as a shuffler it gets half a pound

sick.. you still invertible?

ya but it only drives forward when up-side down
