*drools*

i envy you, how much did that motor cost?

[Rhys]

Well, I'm 2 down and 1 to go. Here's the new Duff:

Duff 1

Duff 2

Nothing special or intresting, but seems useful. Needs a bit more testing.

2 x Supertec HPX F for drive (were speedmodded, but were uncontrollable)
1 x sd150 for flipper
8.4v li-po 145mah
Hitec Feather rx
MDF wheels with dycem grips
balsa and polycarb chassis

I know it looks ugly, but its too heavy to paint.

I've also finished my second ant (no name yet), its a horizontal spinner, uses the same motor and gearbox I had on Duff in AWS14.

TBA 1

TBA 2


2 x speed-modded Naros
1 x IPS motor and box
ic-50 speedo-controller
300mah 8.4v li-po
Hitec feather rx
Ali and polycarb chassis

I know it's very ugly. I might try tarting it up a bit for AWS16, or i might just put all the extra weight into the disc. It's 140g at the moment, but I'm going to put a bigger, heavier disc on it. I expect this ant to fall apart a lot

[Antidote]

Uglyness is nothing. Your bot was mental at aws14 lol.

About DUff, the only advise i would give you is to had a little skirt at the bottom. The angle of the wedge atm is too steep and you will strugle getting under things. A bit of laminte should do the trick.

[Rhys]

Yeah, I always do that, otherwise you get pushed about allover the place. I use the thin plastic film from DVD covers. Seems to do the trick. Proabaly won't do that untuil the day of th event though.

[Craig_Anto3]

looks arent everything at least in robot terms anyway, could be worse could have spun up with the disc not attached properly and nearly killed urself hey Tim

[Cavecrusher]

i didn't nearly kill myself, it only missed me at about 10" ,

i did have a sparky Lipo battery an a smashed back armour though (the robot)

[Andrew_Hibberd]

After a pretty destuctive day at RRC5 i have had to rebuild my ants in a month. Here they are ready for AWS16:

anticide2

Pete C/Mod can you please downsize or reduce the quality of these photo's. I'm on broadband and there taking a while to come up, I hate to think about people on a Dial Up.

Thanks
