New bot: REAPER



Performed extremely badly last meet.
All though it was only finished hours before hand.
With the added weight in the back it sits on 150g.
I plan to make some changed by bring the wheels closer together and placing the battery to the middle of the weapon and upgrading it to 11.1V.

I have 2 bots currently under construction,
first one a drum spinner bot:




The second one i been getting parts for ages and the last bits have finally arrived.
A pneumatic flipper bot. which i will start after my spinner

Last match: Dynamo performed well (as expected)
Reaper was completely useless,

So I started for the ground up and redesigned reaper.
And this is what i ended up with.


The width has been reduced by over half. going by the theory the closer the wheels are together the smaller the distance it is for them to spin around and therefore spin faster.
The battery has also been moved to just in front of the weapon and i was able to add 35g of weight!!! at the weapon part, making the back half of the bot a whopping 52g.

Hope this improves its performance from nothing to something
