Re: Team Astro Build Log (Cheese bots)

That's good to know! Yes, I think I'm going to have to do something about that drill. I think I'm going to make a thin Ti cutout and place it over the lipo rather than try to make all of the armour Ti. Hopefully it will repel the drill for long enough!

Re: Team Astro Build Log (Cheese bots)

https://i.imgur.com/8LfIa5m.png Yes, it is flawed. The weapon is armed at all times, with the option of turning the rx off when you think the whole thing is off. Really more of a danger feature as it currently stands than anything else :shock: Does this mean I have a high current going through the ...

Re: Team Astro Build Log (Cheese bots)

Thanks Harry. Yes, I do wonder whether I should make the tooth sharper. I might see if I can do that with a file, but I'll probably end up unbalancing it and may have to faff about filing on drilling on the other side of the disc. Although I should add the disc in the fusion file is not actually the...

Re: Team Astro Build Log (Cheese bots)

Prep https://imgur.com/gallery/IPpHQCq I've been very busy the last few weeks and discovered to my horror I only had 1 night to finish Harmesan v2 and get it battle ready. Everything I was waiting for came in time and I was able to throw it together. The PLA+ v2 chassis came in at 33g with the moun...

Re: Team Astro Build Log (Cheese bots)

Am trying to get v2 together for Robonerd. Haven't been able to be very picky about how it's printed, have a few irons in the fire. The first to come through looks like this PLA+ print. Not my first choice, but at least it's not PLA, and a chassis is better than no chassis. Not sure how the weapon s...

Re: Team Astro Build Log (Cheese bots)

I think I'm ready for a test print. Key features of v2: Separate motor mount printable in different shear plane bolted to chassis with M3 bolts - should be non-shearable allows easier electronics install/removal without soldering options for modular mounts that can move weapon position around (e.g. ...

Re: Team Astro Build Log (Cheese bots)

I am quite fond of overkill, and like the mass-producableness of machine made parts. But you do make a good point. Good tip on the laser etching. For now I think I'm going to develop the 3D printed strategy. Have been having another stab at fusion and I think I have reach critical mass and it's begi...

Re: Team Astro Build Log (Cheese bots)

Yeah I really like that idea of a replaceable piece. I don't really want it breaking at all though, but if it does at least it won't mean a whole new chassis. I watched a video on stressing 3d printed parts and yeah having the layers run vertically should really help resist shear forces. Another ups...

Re: Team Astro Build Log (Cheese bots)

At less than 24h notice I caught wind of an Ant competition going on without me and luckily was able to fill a last minute drop out! So Harmesan had its first combat outing @ the Bristol Bot Builders Bodge Off 2 wins; 2 losses. Same as Briestroyer actually. Weirdly similar fights, fight 1 was vs a w...
