Twisted Sick Robotics-Antweights

just finished up my two ants witch im taking to bot blast here the 18th, thought i would show them off while they still looked pretty

Write in for maelstorm lol both bots look good, your beater design is rather different

ya maby i'll another chance at bot blast this time my frames stronger and my motors are supported better

What do you think of the turnigy motors?

for the price i love them, i can buy three for the price of an axi and they pull the same kv

some test vids of fangus
part one (buggy speed controller) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwhvVE-2UiY
part two (after i fixed it) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc8xh-2E4-0&feature=channel_page

ShamWOW! that thing looks nice
i like how the youtube video shows related videos, and shows "embarrassing illnesses | Foot fungus | Channel 4" as a related video lol

Any video of the other bot?

The beater looks nice.....

Good luck on the 18th

ya ill be trying to get one up later today got to do some other stuff first

Very cool and a big congrats...looked like some tough competition

Your bots performed very well!!!

Looks like you were having drive problems with the drumbot...at points

yup the 35:1's from pololu are good motors but its time to stop playing around next build gets maxons

You could have won the whole show..it was close..at least the first match was...very impressive to say the least

ya could have, wasen't really planing on it though maelstom is my true rival with maxons it might have come down to a judges decision thanks for the complements

what motor/esc are you using for your beater??

a turnigy 1900 kv outrunner and a turnigy 18 amp esc on a 7.4 volt 800 mAh lipo

Our weapons are so light, that we need to spin them to the moon to get good power from them...too much weight in the structure/armor....but they are solid

ya i was reading your one topic, 40k rpm!! were do you find a motor that can do that?

They are really small

Castle cm 2054/2068/2080 5400kv to 8000kv

Feigao has one 7800 kv

Reedy has one 9600 kv

they all have small diameter shafts, which is a problem.

I mod the motors, change the shafts, etc and use an outboard support bearing and loose belts ....still in testing stages...will hopefully soon have a final setup, but none of them is that powerful...but the castles can handle 20 to 25 amps continuous...(I think/hope)

Excellent videos! Both of your bots did really well--congrats! I agree that you need to seek better drive systems--it was the difference between winning and losing several times.
Nice work, and thanks for taking and posting the vids.

thanks alot! and ya maxons are about the only thing left that i can upgrade

ya he had aftershock and i grabed a few pics of it, looks like it took a few beatings in its life time i didn't realize that they were bringing it, but it was cool to see
