Mr Mangle V2?
While deciding what to enter for Robot wars, I got to thinking about how to improve Mr Mangle; the self-righting needs a tweak or two, the front could be a little stronger, a larger weapon motor would be nice etc, etc. Looking at the titanium off-cuts, I can get all the frame except for the sides from existing stock, which cuts the cost dramatically. And since almost all the internal parts will simply transfer over to the new frame, there are few costs there either.
The new version uses the spare weapon motor & beater from Shiny, Micro-V drive belt, a smaller electronics module with better shock mounting, Larger battery compartment, better motor cooling and adjustable self-righting. Custom urethane wheels are also an option if there is any weight left. Its basically the most successful parts of Mangle and Shiny mashed into one bot (and no, its not going to be called Mr Shmangle!) _________________ Australian 2015 Featherweight champion
