Re: Team Dudge build diaries.
Update! Manticore is close to finished now. Thanks again for all the info, George, it's been a huge help! Owe you a beer one day. The wiring is basically finished. My soldering is still childlike but progressing slowly perhaps haha. Drive works fine, although ooooof I have learned I definitely prefe...

Re: Team Dudge build diaries.
Finally some real update! Manticore has mutated a bit more since my original ideas in that he's now a hammer bot and not an axe as originally planned for. Been working on him the past few days and through lots of trial, error, holes drilled in the wrong place and the occasional urge to give him a qu...

Re: Team Dudge build diaries.

Pair of 30:1 motors for drive, a 50:1 motor for the weapon, vex controller for the weapon, various mounts and hubs for the various motors, a switch and a spool of wire all should be en route. Happy chappy is I, been looking forwa...

Re: GeorgeR's robots
Oooof that scoop on Zero. I think robots the country wide have nightmares about facing Don't Hug Me. I think Valkyrie is overall my favourite ant weight from this forum or that I've seen in person. Such a nice looking little bot. I'm a bit sad I had to miss this event. Can't wait to see the video. A...

Question for the metalheads.
Hey all. Very speculative type query. Been thinking ahead to a time I'm ready to try something bigger than ant weight. It will be a fair while, possibly maybe next year, but at some point I would like to try a featherweight. Anyways, was talking with my housemate about what parts we'd likely use tha...

Re: Hello, My robots.
I haven't seen anyone talk about that 2nd ESC you mentioned. Does it have the bells and whistles of the more popular ones like the braking and steering mix etc? Only feedback I got for your specs is I think you could probably use smaller batteries if you ever need to save weight etc on them. The 180...

Franco looks interesting and I'd like to see under his lid at some point.

Re: Team Dudge build diaries.
Progress is a bit slow this month on account of holidays and such things. A bit of progress has been achieved through and the chassis and armour for axe bot is now done in polycarbonate. Ohhh and new working name for the fella. Introducing Manticore hehe. Actually surprised a bit of searching didn't...

Re: Peter Wallers Robot Ramblings
Amazon/create space do a print on demand paperback service that goes 70/30 on the proceeds. I've used it before for a couple things and the finished product is a pretty nice quality. The formatting etc for it can be time consuming but isn't especially technical. Also it can be released on Kindle sim...

Re: Team Dudge build diaries.
Yayyy. New build project has officially begun! Starting another thread seemed unnecessary so I changed this one to reflect it's not just for Third Law anymore. Next up - working name of Big Choppa, an axe/hammer bot to turn solo robot into an actual team entry. The body will be a mixture of differen...
