Very nice. If you can put it together it'll beat my new crusher by 2kg weight equivalent force!

That's the most effective crusher I've seen so far!

I've invested in the parts for another robot. Without thinking about the practical aspect, I decided to make it a crusher. Later I thought "Why aren't there more crushers in antweight combat?". Firstly, I would like to appeal to people to please name as many crusher antweights as they can,...

the balance connector? has 3 wires going to it if its a 2s? usually the best way to replace any connector is to crimp them... otherwise have pre crimped ones and solder them in place of the original wires at the lipo... this obviously has many more risks, and unless you feel comfortable doing this,...

Does anyone have any advice as to how to remove the large connector from a small lipo? I'm not sure what the technical name is.. I got some new ones recently. In my haste I just cut the connector off with scissors, now I want to do a better job with one of the others. Also, what kind of acetate is p...

i found that the first few builds seemed daunting... but you pick up tips and tricks which help as you build more... nowdays, with all parts to hand, i can scratch build a robot that could win a fight in just a couple of hours. although typically i would say each of my bots take a day or 2 from par...

And now the conclusion... Here's the full test, with plough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pG_1SqjVqDI&feature=youtu.be&ab_channel=Combatechist It taken unusually high levels energy and patience on my part. I can't believe anyone would have the patience to build a Beetleweight robot. Now I...

Now with electronics installed. Nearly ready for a full test.

Drive motors are a bit jittery, any thoughts?

if those are 32mm pololu wheels then i think 13cm is too wide to fit diagonally, however it looks like you might get away with it fitting between opposite corners... with 32mm wheels you can be about 110mm wide and fit the cube diagonally, however with the same setup you can be about 145mm wide and...
