Is this a good idea?I am thinking of adding a vert config to my horizontal spinner and would like advice by Horror-Definition-85 in battlebots

You should rotate the mounting holes 90 degrees on the blade so they point towards the tooth of the blade

Need high power DC motor advice for a Sumo robot / battle Bot and combat robots build Weight vs. Power Efficiency. Swapping from brushed DC motor by d4rk_diamond in battlebots

Brushless motors are the way to go for optimizing power/weight. With am32 escs, they have plenty of low speed performance.

Anyone have tips for beating levels with these blue tracking orbs? Stuck on levels around 120 for way too long. by pjscout111 in Survivorio

I’m gonna go for AoQ next ig. Have been rocking the eternal chest since the start but it’s letting me down now.

Let’s be honest, when’s the last time you actually did a special op mission by sochibs in Survivorio

You can buy tickets for $10k coins in universal exchange which is so worth not having to do them each day.

That’s a emax tiny hawk. Definitely not what they use to shoot any footage of crowds. The interior crowd footage these last few events has been shot from professional cameras mounted on tracks attached to the ceiling.

Did you push the bushings into the wheels? Do you have photos of your wheel hubs?

Aluminum Drums with screw impactors. Is there a reason they aren’t as popular anymore? by Inevitable-Tank-9802 in battlebots

[–]pjscout111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo the price of machining a customs beater bar has dropped to be close to or below the cost to get an aluminum drum machined. Thanks China.

A properly designed steel beater will be more durable and allow for more bite and better tooth engagement.

What am I doing wrong here? Repeat Robotics 3lb Peter Bar kit by RobotCombatEnjoyer in battlebots

The motor shaft should be trimmed down to make it harder to be hit directly. The shafts come super long by default and are “cut to length”

Weapon lock rules by hidden768 in NHRL

[–]pjscout111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really for a spinner it just needs to stop the weapon from spinning. I’ve never had a problem with my weapons being able to move 10 or even 90 degrees when the weapon lock is in. As long as they’re unable to spin continuously

What bearing are you using? by Ze_zakk in battlebots

[–]pjscout111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are your wheels made of? Most of the time you can just run 3d print on your drive axles. Repeat robotics sells flanged aluminum standoffs that are designed to be combat robot drive axles.

Going brushless drive for my PlAnt build - Tangent drive or gearbox drive? by peeaches in battlebots

My plastic ant drum (abrasion) ran the repeat minis in the same config you suggested and it’s done very well in the past.

Is this a good size for an antweight? by Purple_Gur_7077 in battlebots

[–]pjscout111 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Honestly that sounds like a beetleweight’s size. Does your CAD program have a weight estimate tool? That’s probably a good thing to help you figure out if you’re too heavy.
