Lastly, are a bunch of planned builds

Weather these will come to life or not are in the air, but for now i am putting them here:

SD (Vertical Spinner)

Psychosis & Psycho-Sis (seperate bots, overhead spinners)

Tiny Turtle (Angled Spinner)

Unnamed bot (To be named) (overhead drillbot)

ERBO... (pusher)

Uh Oh... (Rammer)

Questionable Consciousness (Drum Spinner)

Some of these may be built, some of them may not even get past being an idea. But for now i'll place them here for if and when i am finished with the current 3 bots and want to build something else

Arena Sweeper is finally complete, which means i can make a start now on my next bot, Rigormortis. This will be a 2wd beater bar spinner. Pictures of both Arena Sweeper and Rigormortis tomorrow but for now, this is how my team is looking in terms of bots:

The bots crossed out are the ones i have ready to run right now. All the others are planned builds that i will be doing, but i'm focusing on them one at a time


And as for Krave-Lit... not sure. It weighed 90g~ at AWS 57. Which is impressively low. Maybe expect one with a lot more metal next time? Who knows.

Here is my new robot, Arena Sweeper!

Currently using a 1 toothed disc supplied by Sev (also big thank you for the weapon soldering). But soon will have 2 custom weapons, a disc and a bar. But in the meantime its just the disc.

Super excited to get the custom weapons cut, hopefully it will still be in weight but if not then no worries. Next bot to do is Rigormortis...

Does that just ride on the bolt heads? Must be a nightmare to drive if so.

I used to epoxy a small ball bearing to the end of the shaft so it ran smoothly. <img src="https://db5pap001files.storage.live.com ... pmode=none" width="1115" height="836" />

I print a small domed disk with a hole in the middle, sized to hold a small ball bearing, like this (from memory, I think that's a 3mm steel ball):

Needs some experimentation to get the dimensions right but when you do, it's smoooooth
