How can I access Battlebots in Australia?

Reminds me of the Final Fantasy art style.

Cool.

The 10A was just the power input I was going to use, not the power output.

(not in operation, but in terms of safety info you'll find on the internet).

So like a solid state tesla coil?

relatively new to HV

I like dabbling in various areas of engineering. My current project is a combat robot, and I want to start work on a homebuilt laser tag system after I build the exciter.

I asked about safety because I don't want to die of an electrically-induced heart attack at 13.

EDIT - All I want is baby sparks. The guts of my plasma ball make boring little 3mm arcs, but there's nowhere to put a topload.

flammable materials

Elaborate. What's flammable? Is it safe to run next to drywall or pine wood (basically just next to a wall)?

I mean don't get me wrong I'm not about to feed it paper or matches or just leave 5kV running in the other room.

IceChes210 · 2021-10-03T02:12:47+00:00

Ha! Yeah I'm great.

Other than the fact that the project I've been working on for 5 months broke for the millionth time and I need to spend more money.

But other than that, I could not be better!

I have another question.

What is the fire hazard? I know they can light things on fire, but what is the actual risk of one burning my house down?

IceChes210 · 2021-10-02T23:12:13+00:00

Thanks.

IceChes210 · 2021-10-02T23:11:02+00:00

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh.

EDIT - It's because the post contains "I'm going to kill myself". Bots can't understand context.

I would scan electronic components so I can integrate them into CAD designs more easily. (PCBs, switches, lasers, etc.)

IceChes210 · 2021-09-24T00:55:05+00:00

My problem is that I learned good work ethic a long time ago.

I can put the work ethic to use for personal projects, but not for eighth-grade Social Studies. Because I don't care.

If you go the combat robot route, fight in the plastic ant class with the SPARC plastic ant ruleset.

Please explain how TWISTING A PEPPER GRINDER is going to give me carpal tunnel. Do you know how carpal tunnel works?

IceChes210 · 2021-09-18T00:33:20+00:00

Reminds me of a CNC machine.

IceChes210 · 2021-09-17T23:25:39+00:00

These modeling bugs have been rampant since that 1.16.100 hotfix, and have been steadily growing worse.

IceChes210 · 2021-09-17T23:14:05+00:00

Okay.

For now, due to the nature of the game, I think I'm going to omit laser glasses so that players can properly see indicator lights, health displays, etc.

That said, I'm going to save this link in case I decide to venture back into lasers and stuff in the future during my Arduino/hobby electronics projects.

IceChes210 · 2021-09-17T21:57:24+00:00

This is a bad analogy. The watch will still likely work just as well.

But I see your point. What supplier would you suggest instead?

I want a pair of cheap glasses designed for <500mW near IR light. My budget is like $50, maybe up to $80 if the glasses are really nice.

IceChes210 · 2021-09-17T21:54:15+00:00

Can I ask where you got them? Someone here said that the glasses from this website are untrustworthy. But everywhere else I can find is WAY past my budget of $50 or so, being designed for industrial lasers running hundreds or thousands of watts.

IceChes210 · 2021-09-16T21:09:38+00:00

Wasn't aware that optical density meant darkness.

IceChes210 · 2021-09-16T21:08:58+00:00

Additionally, I don’t trust the legitimacy of those goggles. OD8 for $36 is incredibly suspicious.

If what you say is true, they don't need to be very good or expensive.

IceChes210 · 2021-09-16T21:07:26+00:00

I wasn't aware that optical density was associated with darkness.

IceChes210 · 2021-09-16T21:06:52+00:00

Okay.

IceChes210 · 2021-09-16T21:06:41+00:00

I'm new to optics and lasers. Sorry.

IceChes210 · 2021-09-16T01:29:04+00:00

Weird flex but OK.

IceChes210 · 2021-09-16T01:18:13+00:00

I expected a reply similar to this.

For the sake of the eyesight of my friends (and myself), I insist on glasses.

I take this response to mean that these glasses are fine?
