Hobbyweights anyone?

might as well make this now because its going to happen.

i have interest in making myself a little thrash bot, switch controllers, a 9.6v drill motor for a powered weapon, drill nicads, get myself some new pulleys from the fleamarkets and ey

i just love the concept of packing more into less, up to a point Wink

Hey angus,

if posible could u get a pic or whatever of those shells as ive wanted to make a FBS for a long time now and making a simple small one would be sweet yusing friction drive off a nice fan motor setup i have going now.

thanks bud

so whos game to start this new class as i would do it fo shizzle if others also seemed game and wanted a nice right rumble with em.

even if there a lunch time battle at events or during breaks etc thatd be sweet

come to think about it, i doubt the shells are big enough for a hobbyweight... Confused
they're real thin too...only about 5-7cm high
A lunchtime rumble would be sweet, maybe i could get a hobbyweight going for this event! A new feather is basicaly out of the question though Mad

5-7cm is tall enough by far.

ive got drills, motors, relays, drill nicads and switch controllers coming out my A-hole so when i get some time off school ill knock up a quick robot just to get this thing rolling

I wouldn't mind seeing this class get moving. I might make a bot entirely out of cutting boards and some spare parts Smile

I might start drawing out a robot. Give me a couple of years and I will have it up and running.

I might look at just building a MDF and cutting board bot up for the Hobbyweights, would also be a great test frame for my Pulse 50 speed controllers. Philip, you can knock one up in a week, I remember you use to build a new Marauder each event before you went full pressure Smile Maybe you could even use Marauder's old pneumatics for a Hobbyweight flipper Wink

Actually, the low pressure ram and valve isn't that much different in weight from the high pressure system.
