Team Shock's Build Diary

[teamocean]

Finished Inertia XS1 today- glad I stuck with it and finished the build as it seems to be pretty effective although the gyro effect is "interesting"

Here it is with Tesla and Velocity along with the weigh in- surprised me a bit

More tape!

A quick video of Inertia XS in action- mainly to demonstate the 'interesting' gyro effect of having fast disc on a very small robot

try having a 70g lump of tool steel on the front of your robot
looks cool though
maybe you should use white tape on the flea?

[teamocean]

Harry- that that lump of tool steel weighs more than my entire robot

I would use white tape but I currently don't have any.

I also have the weight to add 2 more sets of teeth to the disc but that would increase the problem so I think I'll leave it as is- very happy with the way its turned out so far

[haz]

just add the 2 more discs, problem gustav?

Gotta love a bit of vertical spinner gyro-dancing 8)

Couldn't believe how much it suffers from the gyro effect but looks pretty impressive when it balances on its side.

All 3 of the Inertias that are entering in the AWS have very different gyro effects, Inertia 4 lifts one wheel a little when cornering but Inertia 3 has no effect at all (as does Inertia XL as the design seems to counteract the effect)

Don't be glum, Jim, I'll beat 'em for ya!
