The wheels are alluminium hubs that have a grub screw to lock it in a 3mm axle and I glued a rubber band around it.
The big holes have been drilled to reduce weight.
The wheel is then glued with apoxy glue to a alluminium gear.
The gears have been made by a turner.

Ok, finally finished Vortice 3: IMG_33262.JPG IMG_33312.JPG It was overweight by 11 grams, so I had to trim and drill many holes. This is one of the sides now: IMG_33322.JPG In a previous post you can see how it was before. Also the bottom plate is bent in that way because the battery (250mah 2 cell...

Thanks Pete! I tried using epoxy glue, but I find it difficult to work with. Soldering is faster because you only need to wait a few second to harden, insted of hours, and if you want to correct something you can just melt it again. Much easier to do wire frame like designs, as you see on the crab l...

This is the robot so far: By the way it's shinier in real life. IMG_32822.JPG Right now it weights 109 grams. I'm still undecised about the name. Right now I'm thinking of an italian translation of something related with a storm, like Vortice, Tempesta or Bufera. What you think I should do? Also thi...

Update:

Made the wheels: I only need to shorten the axles and the drive train is done!

I also want to change the name, because Stormer it's very lazy. Thinking of Vector, but i'm not getting rid of the 3.

Sorry for not posting anything for a while. Here is the progect for Stormer 3 (not 100% finished): Ca.JPG Why it is pink? Because of this: IMG_32002.JPG It is going to be made with 1.5mm PCB with copper on both sides and some parts are going to be welded. It's the same method that I used for F2. It'...

Thanks guys! This is the claw for the crusher IMG_31662.JPG I will polish it later but I need something to control the motors, the battery is a 350mAh 2 cell lipo. Petter, unfortunately there aren't any antweight competition, but I could try and make an arena and see if I can convince some one to ma...

Hi from Italy! Fortunately robot wars was shown on italy too and I've been a fan since then. I actually started building for some years. This is my current team: Stormer 2.1 6WD, pusher, invertible.. You can guess the robot that this is based on. IMG_31632.JPG Planning on rebuild this, because it's ...
