Bench testing the undercutter's weapon, it currently spins at 6900 rpm while drawing around 7 amps.

Everything sounds good, no heat ,vibration or any other wierd stuff!!

I am going to machine another main body, which will allow for better weight distribution and then off to the test pad....

The horizontal is preatty much done....Now that it weighs 3 lbs. it drives much better. I need to repair my battle box, so I can hit somethings with the weapon!!

I have a second bot almost ready as well..it will be the INTRO bot, or thr least expensive of the group.....

Should be ready in a day or so!!

Next up....some action video!!

I want to see a rumble with all 3

The wedge is on hold, in favor of what I call 'La Caja China' a basic box with offset wheels and ...... well you'll see.

a three way rumble could include my old highspeed drum bot 'Sting' !!

We are workiong on a cage...for the time being, no rumbles in MY battle box, because the sides are only a foot high?!!

Haha yeah safety first

Here is a picture of my entry level 3 pound combat robot. The entire body is chrome moly steel and production units will be heat treated and pretty much indestructable!! Testing is underway, and these will soon be available as kits...Plenty of cool surprises under the hood as well !!

Any comments or feeback is appreciated....

We decided to rename this bot to 'Caddywhompus'
WIth the offset wheels, and the floppy wedge, it looks well....a bit Caddy and a whole lot of Whompus.....lol
It drives as well as any robot I've seen and driven. I attended a robotics meeting at MLEC today and let a slew of students take it for a test drive....It actually won its first battle by knocking the wheels off of its opponent.
The floppy wedge stays flat onthe floor, even when the bot goes 'Caddy'....
I will be finishing it up with outboard axle supports, more nut bars and then after some more testing, the panels will be off to heat treat along with those from the other wedge (which is still vapor at the moment)
Stay tuned, more to come, some video as well!!

We are picking a battle cage of sorts (no floor or roof???) tomorrow, so maybe some weapon testing or battle video will be coming up soon

I wonder if anyone has seen this before, I haven't

The undercutter stands up on the wheels and points the blade into the air...this I've seen

But it also landed on the outer face of the left wheel and stayed there...the balde was spinning like a vertical and I could drive the bot around with it perfectly on the sideface of the wheel...!!! It wouldn't flip back down unless I killed the blade???

All I can say is WOW!! It's a real showoff

I need to finish up my battle cage and see if I can get it on video

I'm impressed, but then again, I never drove an undercutter

This is exactly what my 150g antweight Scarlet does when it gyro's around the arena.
