CATACLYSM!!! Team dyrodium NSW
Well... At least the name's australian!
(may be renamed hedgehog, which sounds better, or mabey spikything, but thats a website name ).
Australia's first echidna-bot!
Specs (design on paper, so they may change)
Base: 50cm X 40cm X 1cm Mild Steel or aluminium.
Drive: 2 XU1 Bunnings drills + caster for front support (wheels will be near the back of the bot.
Batts: For the moment, the batts from the drills (mabey 4 in parallel if I can get hold of more. But 2 will be fine for now...
Amour: AMOUR! This is where my innovation and flair comes in! I will have
steel walls and roof, which will be bolted together. The sides and roof will all have multiple holes drilled in them (with exeption to the front panel). In these holes will be large bolts, and attached to these bolts will be 30-50 bits of
THICK WIRE!
This wire (40-60cm long) will be sticking at near right angles to the bot, forming a protective barrier. So if a spinner attacks, it will be blocked by the mass of flexing, springy wires, probably only ripping a few off (which will be easily repairable). Unique or what?! Also, because they will be attached with bolts, I would be able to take them off when transporting the bot. And also make spares for quick weight change, repair or to suit the next fight.
Weapon(s): Well this bot is mainly defensive, so there is not enought room for an active weapon, BUT... At the front will be a 2cm thick Steel bar, which would probably cause self-destruction of most aussie feather-spinners. (that's of coarse if basilisk doesn't rip it right off )
Misc: I am using servo-switching to control the bot with a 4channel futuba radio (skysport).
NOTE!
I will not start building this bot for a while due to lack of time and equipment. Also, I am building a wood prototype this weekend for testing all the electronics, then, when I am happy with the result, I am going to start on the real deal. _________________ ( •_•)
