Fixing Fluffy's Flaming Fault

Subject: Fixing Fluffy's Flaming Fault Sat Dec 05, 2009 12:25 pm

We're gonna do a "Blitz Fix" of Fluffy on Monday, just in time for the Starbot Open House/Battlebots Premiere/Robot Matches thing.

We think it will take about 1/2 hour if we're really busting our butts over it.

We're also going to remove the magnets. And replace them. With a vacuum.

Cool

So, what exactly got destroyed in Fluffy? I know the Weapon ESC & battery are dead, probably the drive ESCs as well and likely the weapon motor & belt.

weapon belt and motor, and drive motors are fine. everything else got fried.

Will you have a hose attachment to suck up the little pieces if you trash one of our bots? affraid

Subject: Re: Fixing Fluffy's Flaming Fault Sat Dec 05, 2009 9:45 pm

ya, but the original idea was for the hose to pick up charred bits of LiPo and Castle speed controllers.

Would that be OUR lipos anc cc controllers?

You're not using castle stuff, are you?

OOPS, didn't know...not very observant.

If you do build it and you notice any of our cc's and lipos floating around, could you suck them up as well... What a Face

Sister teams? or should I say brothers

If RE doesn't go and you do, maybe a 30 lbs combo of say...

Fluffy and TTATT....you whack em and we sweep up?

Or maybe Fluffy and Sting'Em.....we hit em from both sides or we charge side by side and throw caution to the wind

Maybe we bolt Fluffy and Sting'Em together side by side and wack em with both drums????

Could be hilarious .....or disastrous

2vs.2/3vs.3 grudge at nationals against MI, just an idea

We did a 3v3 against MI at the 2008 nationals. We won but lost an axi
