Four spinners, one word: SCARY!

Seriously, that's amazing Peter

Aw, Peter, why are you entering Defiant in the AWS instead of Combatant? I know it's probably a better chance of winning, but it's nowhere near as exciting!

I hope to fight all of them in Brighton. Nothing better than a good spinner battle.

I should probably make a build diary but I've started this post now... done a bit more, machined a base milled from 4mm polycarbonate.

Awesome! If both servoes are powering the flipper, it will be faster and more torquey i assume? 8)

I don't think faster but it should be double the torque so i think thats 4.8kg/cm and the servo arms are 1cm long although the linkage ont he arm will be quite far up to try have some speed in it, it should still be quite powerful

Hey guys

I just finished the rebuild of my Drive-all-day robot some of you may have seen at live events (Aylsebury was its first one), But since it wanted to be used for the upcoming AWS, I thought it best to rebuild it.

I give you Bulletproof:

its 5g overweight ATM, but that can be solved with a smaller battery.

really good looking bot you got there

how did you mount your motors?

I used Pololu motor mounts and put some 6mm polycarb underneathto make it invertable.
