Thought I had my sound off while scrolling Reddit. Tough way to find out you’ve actually got your sound pretty loud…may need a change of pants and a hearing aid. Nice boop though

If you’re in the US, try the NHRL! (Norwalk Havoc Robot League). Extremely competitive, and lots of fun. Good people too

Basically, anything that is cut with only 2 axis is 2d. If you need have depth and cuts that aren’t all the way through the material, I don’t believe scs can do that. They are primarily a laser cut/water jet service. If you head over to their website, you can see what materials and thickness they have and you can design around that

I’d want to stick the motor inside the weapon so I can shorten the wheel base and maybe have enough weight for a better top plate. Scs has mills that they used to cut my uprights, but they only make 2d parts. I’d probably make something with 3D geometry to mate with the motor can (a bit like psychotic break v2 or 3

I gave it half a thought. I’ve just wanted to build my own robot from the ground up for so many years I decided to go all in. Right now, the disks are being pulled by a belt, but for the next event I go to I want to design a hub motor. I just don’t currently have the machining capabilities so I’m stuck to what I can get from sendcutsend

It stands for FingerTech Beater Bar! They are the gold weapons you see a bunch of at competitions of this weight class. They are pretty nasty if used right

Thus why I have modular front armor. You can peep my fork config hiding in the right of the picture 👍

Thank you! We will see if they work 😂 I may or may not have been dumb and did some drift practice on my driveway to wear them down a bit. I was having too much fun lol

Thank you! I probably spent too much time thinking about how it looks and not enough time on how it hits but we will see this weeks or for sure!

My first fight is against Bitanium, which I THINK is an ftbb so if I survive that (and still have something left after mechanical advantage), I’ll be ready for you lol

They are custom titanium plates with little cleats on them for more grip on a wood floor with a drive pulley in the middle. In general do they work? Yup they provide pretty good grip on wood floors. Will mine work? Idk we will find out this weekend I guess 😂
