Long time robot wars fan, always been interested in robots/mechanics/electronics. So end of last year, I bought a 3D printer (CTC i3), and have started to build the dream!
First, I just wanted to build something roughly the right size, that moved. To me, that would be a major goal, to design it, print it, design the electronics and make it work. So, here is my first robot!:
Parts used:
LemonRX
AWESC (Team ARC)
50:1 micro motors
In that photo, it had a 450mAh battery, so with smaller capacity theres plenty of weight to play with.
So, my next step is a flipper. I ordered a servo, connected it up and it works. Due to only having a cheap semi-DIY printer and having a busy work schedule, I've not had a chance to print a flipper shell, however that is currently happening tonight overnight! So keep your eyes peeled for this next advancement, I'm going to try and keep this thread updated with my progress, and hopefully it won't be too much longer until I meet some of you at an event!
