  • In this video, I show you my antweight combat robot competing at the Sparten Bell Slugfest! Ill show you how I repurposed old frame parts and adapted them to work for this event. I have no idea how it will go, but hopefully, vector doesn't explode…

  • @elboniske
    @elboniske 2 месяца назад +2

    A couple things that you could consider is #1 looking into nylock versions of your bolts to solve your loosening problems, and #2 adding another piece of frame that connects both sides so that any strong sideways forces do not put pressure on your weapon axle, of course this would probably be hard with weight

    • @TeamVector441
      @TeamVector441  2 месяца назад

      Yeah I wanted to try a nut and bolt system but due to weight its not really possible unless I figure something out. But for now it seems to be working. And I am working on getting the two frames connected some how, still in the works!

  • @Dean-dd6eq
    @Dean-dd6eq 2 месяца назад +4

    One thing you could try is TPU wedge lets around the weapon so horizontals won't rip the CF anymore. If you do it though, they have to be very rounded to prevent blades catching.

    • @TeamVector441
      @TeamVector441  2 месяца назад +2

      Yeah I thought about doing a TPU wedge for the sides like Ground Game does. I've actually hit the problem of the weapon being so wide theirs almost nothing for the wedge to attach to. So it ends up being floppy if one side isn't attached to the other. I am working on different versions though!

    I gasped again. Also once this bot gets dialed in it’s going to be a bot nobody wants to mess with. You found the issues and how to fix them which is the most dangerous knowledge(ps you should get a wedge even if it is small if you haven’t already) and the reason your doing so well is because you make the videos funny and entertaining.

    Right, "confident." 😅
    Still, for the seemingly catastrophic damage it took in that tournament it still takes so much to actually knock it out of the fight. That shows that it's a very durable design, it just has flaws to iron out.

    • @TeamVector441
      @TeamVector441  Месяц назад

      That's a great question! Their are a ton of different drives to choose from, but their are mainly two types. Brushed and brushless drives. Brushed are less expensive and have less power but are just brute force motors that can take a beating. Their pretty good for beginners as they are MUCH easier to wire up, especially at larger scales and cost benefits.
      Brushless motors are high speed and torque along with general finer motor control. But at the cost of well cost lol Very expensive at times but its personally what I like to run on vector.
      Here are two great sites that sell both types.

      www.buildersdb.com/events
      www.robotevents.com/map
      It can be quite difficult to find a event at times as they tend to be spread out, if their isn't one nearby sometimes you have to commute to one. But don't worry! These events pop up more often than you think and theirs bound to be one in or near the Dallas area eventually!

Weapon is two Fibonacci S-shaped HORIZONTAL spinners vertically close to each other like scissors, one spinning clockwise other counter clockwise to create scissor like effect, think heavier option is use bearing to keep separated at spin point an individually powered, less durable option maybe contra rotating propeller. need internal pusher bars to push inner S potion of blade after hit to create crush effect and prevent constant sticking.
