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. Am planning on coming to the one in June!
What's your next project gonna be? Any more ants in the pipeline?

Yeah, I'm glad I chose a big lump of steel for the scoop or things would be much worse, Don't Hug Me put a huge slice clean through the chassis of Stewie at the aws.
Valkyrie needs a fair bit of work, the main aluminium side section wants replacing, it's really deformed around the front and it needs to be square for the weapon to spin. I'm also planning some upgrades to make the front tougher so this doesn't happen again, and changing the weapon motors for a more powerful and robust model!
Once I get that done I've got some more plans, a new version of Zero is fully designed and just needs building. And I'm also working on a walking version of Vampire, but getting the walking mechanism right is taking time.

Re: GeorgeR's robots
All your bots looks so good I'm excited to see what the extra versions look like!

Anybody for robot gymnastics?
Not really sure how doing a handstand on the axe (axe-stand?) is going to help it win anything, but I like it anyway!

I know you lot had a few pints that day but I didn't know the robots did too!

Re: GeorgeR's robots
Well I've not had enough time for any new robots recently but with the AWS around the corner I've been getting my team in order.
Valkyrie's now sporting new weapon motors, which means it can run at the 35,000rpm top speed of the esc. It makes one hell of a racket now, and should give me a decent boost in weapon power.
Vampire's got a new chassis baseplate, which provides a more stable mount for the weapon. I ran this new part at BBB2 a couple of weeks back and it proved very effective, particularly in a brutal rumble with Don't Hug Me. Just need to make a minor electrical tweak and I'll be good to go!

Re: GeorgeR's robots
I am really, really, hoping mine will not get drawn against those in the first round.
So well built, so scary.

Re: GeorgeR's robots
Cheers, I must say it's nice to have reached the stage where people are scared of my machines rather than the other way around.
Talking of scary robots, further testing has revealed that Valkyrie's new weapon motors have had a bigger difference than expected. Half throttle is more powerful than full power was before, and I can now get some sweet gyro dancing. The downside being that the vibration is pretty out of control at high power and things get really hot if run for any length of time. I guess time will tell how that works out.

Re: GeorgeR's robots
Definitely your machines command a bit of fear. I'd happily fight any of them next week....but.....I'd prefer it if it wasn't in the very first round yeah?
