If Glen didn't have the sudden urge to rag out against Scoopy, I might not have had the sudden urge to bag Cobra so quickly As for you mr welch and your spinner friends, we have some very very good things for them coming

Ok so i cant really get those mini evs but i will try and find some locally , would they have any other names ? how can i regognise them ?
Also what ration is in the 2 stage pulley system for the drive ? And what is the actual chassi made out of ?

10:1, there lathed out of aluminum the pulleys.

the motors are pretty huge, there bigger than a mini ev at least. some of the much bigger drills probably have a motor like them.

the chassis is just all fibre glass with kevlar base last time i had a look down inside it..

its a shame they never made the cardboard templates for the old version out of beer cartons eh eh eh

i like marauder as its all round a cool robot, u may be losing matches but who cares. Its all about fun and i think marauder is the most powerful flipper ive seen for a while (basically matador power in a featherweight).

One thing i REALLY want to see what happens is if marauder can self right or what happens after its flipped and fires the flipper.

The old version of Marauder used to go close to a full 360 degrees when self righting. The new version is some seven times stronger.

You know what i'd like to see? Marauder vs El bravo!
I don't think El b can self right though...

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

back to the Plan B part of this thread.... is Plan B's spinner attached directly to the comm shaft of its weapon motor? Looks that way in the robowars2 dvd/s.

....Marauder is going to be downright scary when Philip gets it to stop breaking itself. We're going to reinforce the arena walls just because of all the flying bots up here

the wep is belt driven off the motor
the reduction is closer to 34:1 btw for the drives

Bey, just wondering what plan b's dimensions are, and how high the disk is from the ground.

lol, well, they can get that disk damn close to the ground if they run it inverted . . . I'd say less than 30mm, about 60-80mm I think when its running right way up.

BTW, dont be suprised if they turn up with something new next event and ruin all your preparation . . .
