First test of catastrophe on a pathetic 16.8V, will run on 28.8V in combat. Also will be soon upgraded to a high power (and smaller) brushless motor to replace the EV warrior.

  • im planning to use a 14.5 volt battery on a 15 volt motor to power a angle grinder disk.

    so i might be able to beat yours...

  • @geckohero17 I'd like to see that... The armour plates took several hours to angle grind into shape. It'll be competing again at Australian Nats in Brisbane.

  • Oh that was AGES ago, lol!

    Mine would lose EASILY!!!!

  • @geckohero17 hehe doubt it

  • @eyeAMtwinkEE The disk is 20mm (3/4") or so thick, and about 300mm(12") in diameter including the teeth, it weighs around 4kg! Are you doing battlebots IQ? I would have loved to compete in that, but Australia offers nothing like it... good luck!

  • @accuratechaos What is the thickness and diameter of your weapon? How much does it weigh? I'm making a similar robot for my school's competition.

  • @eyeAMtwinkEE Cheers! It got fairly damaged at its first event and awaits rebuilding, but has lots of potential...

  • @accuratechaos Ohh. I see. Nice robot you have there.

  • @eyeAMtwinkEE Hey yeah the front does scrape but because the arena floor is smooth the friction is very little. This way the front can get under other robots, having wheels at the front would let them go under and miss the disk!

  • Does the front just drag on the ground since there aren't any tires?
