And the damage caused to an old 0.5mm Aluminium chassis

That first picture literally made me say "Oh!"

Lovely design ...

The spinner looks too far back, would never be able to hit another ant.

That's true. The design looks great but the spinner does seem a little bit "deep" on the mounting.

I thought that but Will assures me the engagement of the disc is fine, plus there will be a feeding scoop to help robots into it

Thanks for all the great comments so far, it's been a lot of fun designing and making this one

As Dave said I have done a fair bit of testing with it now and so far it seems to be pretty good at hitting things with the disc.

I am making 2 small improvements with it though to make sure that it can hit more reliably. First I'm going to lower the robot by raising the wheels up a little and then I will be adding a scoop to the front to guide other robots into the disc.

After that it is just a question of losing a little bit of weight so that I can put some decent armour on it.

I'll try to get a video of it running online at some point this weekend.

Hi guys,
I've got a new robot in the build: Terrior 2, it's not quite finished yet but here's the spec so far:
Weapon: flipper
Weapon power: HPX
Batterry: 8.4v 300mah lipo
Drive: 2x precision micro drives 30:1 motors
Reciever: Hitec HFS-05MS
Speed Controller: sabretooth 5A dual channel
Chassis: 1mm polycarb
Armour: 1mm polycarb, 0.5mm Ti
It weighs about 120g without the flipper, all it needs is to have the flipper inished and attached and weight saving if necessarry
