a weapon anything like vars' is something i've never even thought of at all (let alone making it viable) and not to mention the idea of a shuffling swerve drive too is some insane creativity. all your bots are simply cool and amazing and hope to see more content. extremely glad i found this channel
you could probably add rubber cement or cut up rubber tires to put on wayward's shuffling system edit- just saw the stuff your friend gave you for wayward 😅
I’m curious to know how you programmed the N20s so you could control where the wheels were pointing at any given time. What programs and electronics did you use?
No fancy programming was implemented. It's pretty much the same as you would control any other standard tank drive. Only difference is that maybe the controller inputs would be slightly mapped differently for the outputs. For instance, in a tank drive both motors would need to move forwards to drive straight, but in the swerve system, the motors would need to operate against each other to drive straight. Pretty much special software was unnecessary (But definitely would have helped make driving easier!) As for electronics (it's just like a regular tank drive) so just a beefy dual brushed esc to supply the current I needed for driving two pairs of n20s, a standard fs2a for the controller receiver, and a brushless esc for the weapon motor. In the future for knowing where to point automatically, I would try to implement something like an encoder to measure the swerve's orientation to the bot and a gyroscope to measure the entire bot relative to the arena so I would know which way to face. Since it was just manually driven
Really depends but there a some factors that can affect it. I think mainly for me, I was underextruding so my wall lines were not properly sticking to each other. Using an infill pattern also helps and I only really used purely walls on one of my bots that had that issue you saw.
Intriguing ideas, but I want to try to decouple my weapon from my movement since I want to have a dedicated system to drive the way I want. I do plan on trying to make shuffler version of Acro to possibly spend that bonus weight on a more rigid weapon and possibly adapt it to outside compeitions.
do you think a bot with a design similar to acro could be possible with a steel ring at the beetleweight level? honestly i doubt it but i'd like to hear your perspective
No I haven't before. I think I would need to compete in regular open ant competitions which unfortunately my schedule and location makes a bit awkward.
I love the random backflips/hops on Acro from the torque reaction.
Swerve shuffle drive might be just the coolest drivetrain I've seen. Just needs three more.

Thank you! I intend to scale up some of my designs in the future so stay tuned!
I really love the way you made the weapon on Acro! Its an idea ive never seen before!
Thanks!
@@PotatoCreami also might recommend putting supports on the back like the ones Deep Six used
ALL THESE ARE YOURS??
All very different very unique ideas with a ton of potential? You may well be my new #1 builder to watch for
Yes I made them (over some time) and I appreciate the support. Thanks!
Awesome driving and having a diversity in bits is fun to watch.
Keep it up
Thank you!

Rubber cement definitely sounds like what I need. The stuff I got just didn't adhere correctly. I'll look into it!
Some good fights and a lot of them! Great Job 4th and 5th isn't bad at all.
nice video; good snappy editing. these are great results and you learned a lot.
Thank you!
Acro was definitely my favorite to watch, but theyre all really cool!
Thank you! I'm excited to show you the next generation of Acro (hopefully by the end of this month) so stay tuned!

Amazing fights! I'll beat u next time for sure ;)

You deserve more subscribers
i notice that your bots print weapons with a lot of walls. Wouldn't printing with an infill pattern make delamination harder?
Really depends but there a some factors that can affect it. I think mainly for me, I was underextruding so my wall lines were not properly sticking to each other. Using an infill pattern also helps and I only really used purely walls on one of my bots that had that issue you saw.
GOOD IMPROVEMENTS COOL ROBOTS BLEH BLEH BLEH
THANKS!
maybe you could make a vertical spinner without any wheels or a shuffler system that only moves by reaction torque.

I'm in the works for making a 3lb Acro soon so we will find out!
Have u ever fought a bot named Cheesecake?
No I haven't before. I think I would need to compete in regular open ant competitions which unfortunately my schedule and location makes a bit awkward.
Whats 1lb to kg?
Approximately 0.453 kg
