Unfortunately no videos at the moment as the axe motor has stripped its gearbox so I need to find a replacement, any suggestions??

Now that looks like a real axe very nice indeed.

Those are two well engineered and scary looking robots, nice work guys

I have to second Jack's comment, although I do so with more than a hint of dread and hope I won't end up being used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the weapons

Those are very nice though, I continue to be impressed by both of your engineering skills

Before my attempts at FBS were called anticyclone which I started calling the this one.

So I think I will make this one Militant and revert to anticyclone for the FBS.

TruANT is up and running!

Name: TruANT
Weight: ???g (152g so we need to fiddle a bit)
Drive: 2x precision microdrives micro motors
Speedo: Peters option B
Rx: Spektrum AR6110e
Battery: 2 cell LiPo
Weapon: dual aluminium bar spinners (Going to be Laser cut Titanium Discs 8) )
Weapon Drive: 2x Robot Birds Cross mounted brushless outrunners
Weapon Contoller: 2x 10amp brushless speedos
Armour: Aluminium sheet, mesh protecting the guts...

We have only one problem. When i try tto put the spinners up to speed, i can hardly put the stick up very much, and he starts bouncing and shaking! we have found that the spinners are going in the same direction, so that might be it...

That sounds very familiar.

sounds good guys

Pete: I'm a bit confused, do you mean the one in the picture is going to be called Millitant, and the new one is going to be called Anticyclone?

Yes

Hi guys, just returned from RRC. after a meeting with anticyclone, my wheel is in shreds!

I dont mind really, because i suppose it was inevitable. we plan to make some more wheels, and the crazy shaking will stop, as we will get some ti spinners. This (hopefully) also will do a lot more damage! 8)

I'll be bachk! 8) (terminator style!)
