Re: Team 1202 Build Diary
So the pan for AWS 56 is to turn up with 4 new bots:
Robototron Mk 5: Tracked lifter
Crabulon: Shufflebot. Not sure I will get as far as a active weapon on this one at the moment.
OAF 3: Critical Fail: A D&D inspired take on the hamsterball concept
R.E.X: Tracked Clampbot.
At the moment all 4 are in the design phase.
Going to save my spinner aspirations for the next AWS at least. The aim for this AWS is for me to finally get 3D printed bots to a AWS.
I shall post some pics when I get the chance

Re: Team 1202 Build Diary
Been having lots of fun printing ABS...
Not 100% there but getting close to printing some pretty good looking parts out of ABS. hopefully means I will have some assembled bots soon.
The PLA test version of Crabulon weighed in at 160g with 20% print. Still lots of weight to add armor, weapons etc but I have redesigned it to use less material for the final print. Id ideally like it to be under the wheeled ant limit prior to any additions.
I still have hopes of all 4 bots making it to AWS 56 at the moment.

Re: Team 1202 Build Diary
So made it to AWS 56 with 3 robots:
Crabulon: Shufflebot walker
Robototron MK 5: 2WD wedgebot that was frankensteiend from Mecano and 3d printed parts.
Afterthought: a test chassis we put in last min.
Also has Shaun along as a team mate in order to entice into the hobby.
we only one one fight via the other robot being unable to continue. so no real wins. Shuan did a good job with driving the two wheeled bots despite them being horrible to control.
despite loosing every match, Crabulon did a great job, Despite loosing 4 legs in a altercation with horizontal spinner of doom we managed to cobble it together to come back.
so for next time I want to focus on making a solid wheeled robot, optimise Crabulon and add weapons!

Re: Team 1202 Build Diary
Well done with the bots. I really like your shuffle drive. Well deserved sportsmanship award re assembling the bot after getting smashed apart.

Re: Team 1202 Build Diary
Very kind of you to say.
I spent a good Sunday afternoon starting design on the next Crabulon. I shall post some screen shots soon.

Re: Team 1202 Build Diary
You thought of building a spinner robot.... hurricanado
Re: Team 1202 Build Diary
This would be the right thing to do. It would have to be a full body spinner.
Fun trivia: the original Robototron corpse (because that all it is now) is now signed by Evil scarecrow.
Also: Evil scarecrow would be a great name for a robot.

Re: Team 1202 Build Diary
So my next question...
I managed to get printing with ABS but has cause some issues.
Is PLA + worth using and is it standard PLA temps?
