I still have my battle bot lol its just a car thingy with a hammer and a flipping thing on the back... but for some reason i was playing with it and the spinning thing just flew out of the bot i was like what the?
The reason why i didn't was because sometimes, you need to hit things at different directions, like pull off brick, instead of push them down. Its kinda hard to explain, but whatever.
6:44 oh dear haha that happens alot in my battlebots too!!
I like the idea of using a differential - when I let others drive my spinners I'm relying on them not turning the weapon on when it can't move... which makes me paranoid!
The differentials only work tis way when they are in that configuration. Also, Im not sure if the mechanism exactly doubles the spped and torque, but i know it is far more effective than just puttung two motors to one axel...
oh dude that is sick!--sure wish i had that much parts--i have a nxt but i dont really know how to use it--if you have oone you should make something cool to give me some general ideas
It almost reminds me of a demolition vehicle of some sort... I mean like who knows? Maybe in 50 years or so we'll start seeing these things replacing dynomite xD.
It looked actually quite powerfull, I love how it just rolled over all the debris like it was nothing.
I would say get arid of the differential, it's cool how you've got it in there but with the high torque you have; it's going to slip. I would also try gearing it up abit to give it abit more of a punch when it hits.
Atleast your bot is all one colour... unlike mine lol.
firstly, the differential is a mechanism made by searme that lets you safely add the power and torque of two motors together without damaging them in the long run. I suppose you can put the motors together without the adder, but as searme said "two motors always have a slightly different rpm and torque"
secondly, yes, it is one color, probably because i have a ton of lego.
YAY! I fixed the slipping problem, and it wasnt because of the differential. it was because the 8 tooth gear was only attached by a technic connector. i just connected a 24 tooth gear to a 6L axel. now it works just fine...
grey box: ahh... feels good....

you should connect the hammer direct to the battery so its constintly rotating

Firstly, the reason why the 8t gear some loose is the differential skipped twice before in this video (which is now fixed!)
secondly, the reason why I used a differential is because it makes an adder, which combines the torque and the speed of the motors.

"which combines the torque and the speed of the motors"
I had no idea differentials did that! Thanks for the info.

Oh hey, thanks.
I do not have an NXT, but I have a mindstorms RCX which is not working : (
I want to get the new model of NXT, which comes out in august (NXT 2.0) but that wont be for a while...

Sweet NEW Nxt-im looking forward for that

Thanks!
the thing is, I am now working on a new version of it, because in the video:
1. the quiet click noise that happened when the robot turned was because the spybot didnt have enough power to move the robot around very well.
2. the really loud clicking noise that came from the hammer was the gears skipping, which is BAD. i need to fix that too.
