WHat a off the wall concept. I love the idea but in practise there are some things that come to mind.

The drill motors powering a wheel that size= broken drill gearbox's or motors. TO move a wheel that size u need at least kiddy car gearbox's or use the 100 watt scooter drive trains. A good hit from a spinner will either shred teh wheel or bend/break the shaft/whatevers attached to it.

Also how do u stop the blade hitting the ground.

Looks good though.

There is a support arm that comes out from between the wheels is there to stop weapon from hitting the ground.

The Drive train I am stressing to the max. I have done some minor modes to the motor & Gearbox arrangment to see if the XU1's can be modifided to take a lot more punisment, than they currently take, As well there is a support plate with a brass bush on the out put shaft that will help releave the stresses.

Have a look at the Builder Report their is more details there.

Well I'm been working on the design for my scooter motors, so I decided to draw the rest of the setup in Rhino (minus the wheel).

Took a bit of work, but I've drawn the scooter motor, small 17tooth timing pully, large 88tooth timing pully, 125 tooth timing belt and soon, the matching 140mm wheel.

Next thing to do is get around to putting threads inside the motor mount holes!

Seeing as how we tend to run significantly different parts from the common US stuff, I suggest we start a CAD parts model repository for people to share the parts they have taken the time to draw.. (if they dont mind).

I'm happy to setup a page on the RoboWars Site if people want to send me any models they have.. credits of the creator will be listed on the page.

Any Takers ?

does anybody have the size in regards to width, length and height of those 75A power switches the victoria peeps use?

ive got an awesome cad of one here but not the right dimensions to go with it..

so is this library going to happen? It would be really usefull if it could be done with some of the hard to draw, but common parts (eg, drills).

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

My first question would be can Rhino open .step or .iges files? I beleive I asked this before and didn't get an answer.

OK, OK, I've finished setting it up..

I didnt have time to do anything about it last time I mentioned it, but now I have.

You can find the CAD File listing at
http://cad-models.robowars.org

Initially, just the files from Glen (thanks Glen) are there in .3DM format (which is Rhino's format I believe), but I think many others can open them..

In answer to the Kero's, I'm pretty sure most Cad programs can open IGES files, so that would probably be a preferred format for maximum cross-program compatibility.

I also have about 170meg of assorted Cad files (dxf, dwg, igs, 3dm, sldpart etc) that I can upload there, but I've accumulated them over time from various websites on the net, so I'm not sure of the authors reposting policy.. does anyone know if other authors get narky if I hosted them ? Most of them are probably U.S. based parts anyway and so are of limited use to us, but some like the Victors and BattlePacks could be good..

If anyone else has any cad drawings they would like to share with everyone, send them across to me via email and I'll upload them for you..

rhino does iges and step, and others to boot.

i have tons more CADs if youd like them brett? got some fan motors done, a windscreeen wiper motor etc

More CAD files upload to http://cad-models.robowars.org

I've zipped them up individually now, since that saves a lot of space and download time..

Thanks to Glen Rose and Daniel Kerrison for the file contributions..

thanks a bunch *reminder* never let sister on computer when your not inthe room cause you come back tohalf the cad files you origionally had
now all i need are the cads for the 12v packs of mine and the 24vpack aswell but i will do them after

*edit*
what reduction do you use glen cause that cad of the kk2 is 13.006mm long aparently
