Scaling down TTATT to 12 pounds

Well the project has started and the elves are busy working on 'The Spin Stops Here', which will be a 12 pound version of TTATT.

Should be interesting in that it will compete against a hord of spinners and undercutters at Motorama in February.

Wish us luck...btw:the Ti is ordered and it will be thick!!

mind sharing your plans for scaling down?!

Sure...teardown ttatt into wittle pieces and make all the new stuff weighs .8 of what ttatt's pieces weigh.... then re-assemble... tada..instant 12 pounder

any more questions?

Getting serious for a second

1) ttatt is well under 15 pounds to start with
2) Everything in ttatt is total overkill, so with some tweaking...
3) the battery pack alone could be 1/2 pound lighter and still run for 4 or 5 minutes (no spinning weapon = 1/2 the battery size or more)
4) a slighlty smaller footprint
5) and on and on...more pockets, deeper pockets, etc.

ttatt minus 3 lbs or a 12lb version of ttat/SOT? lol

You're right!!

TTATT- SOT = 12 pounds of TSSH.....

TTATT has been totally disassembled and weighed......it looks like we can make 12 pounds!!! within our usual 1 or 2 grams....lol

bring lots of extra wheels just in case haha even though there really protected

we only have a bit over 1/8" between floor and sides....plus they're colsons 2 5/8 x 1 1/4, on massive solid axles, so they are pretty tough...we will have some sparestho.....

thanks for the tip tho

hey where are all the undercutter vids???? ss vs ???? wedges

This is the 12lb version of MikeNCRs wedge, gotta say he did an awesome job!

I'm looking forward and hope we get to fight SS with TSSH

None of those wedges had .220 Ti or stop plates to prevent SS from going over the top without damage.

THanks Cody

btw: how do you see us doing at Moto? lol are we gonna get killed?

I honestly dont know, i have to think you'll do really well
im struggling just cause theres so many new bots with potential and a couple of already proven

We'll be a long shot for sure...but who knows???

i wouldnt say long shot but its gonna be competive

I keep forgeting the 3lb class.
As long as you have plenty have spare parts for sting i think you have it

I'm thinking of scaling down Sting 'Em or scaling up Sting rather than ttatt

The fights should be shorter then...whether we win or lose.

ttatt = possible long drawn out fight

both! lol It would definitly be the place to test out a wedge and i think it would be pretty good fights
Theyre arens huge! (16x16)

you seem to think that s spinner has a better chance of winning? in the 12 pound division?

They're all spinners...lol

I can't do both...it's either 12 pounds of ttatt or of Sting ( or Em)

ttatt is easier, since it weighs 1/2 pound under to start with....Sting could be tough without compromising things

What do you think?

In most fights spinners do win
I think it takes more skill do build and drive a wedge thatll beat weaponed bots
From the looks of it ttatt is more then capable of taking a hit
Sorta like an underdog thing lol

Come on...commit!!!

TTATT as the underdog or 12 pounsds of 30 k hammerhead drum!!

Bahhh i suck at decisions hahahaha
Do you think you could get stingem to 12lbs without to much sacrifice and do you think 1200 mi away would be the best place to test out a new drum?
As much fun as sting'em would be, i kinda wanna see how ttatt fairs up, and how the weapons fair up to it.

we could fight the 12 in the 15 lbs battle on feb 4th here in miami

But that would only give us a couple of weeks to pick up the pieces.

I know that ttatt is doable. StingEm would be a feat to say the least.

If I end up driving, I'm better off with a drumbot

With Sting, I just launched anything that came close....lol

your decision

Baaaaaaaahhhh.....It'll be a surprise

C ya

Im not sure if which arena there haveing the beetles in, im assuming the 8' box but the arena in the videos i posted with the yellow rails is the 16' arena used for the twelves

From what i understand, they will be fighting the beatles in the 16 arena as well.

im pretty sure they have in the past
be careful its a wood floor
