Little Brute - The War Lord - SA
I wrote a story then a song, now how should I write this one.
How about seriously
The ‘Little Brute’ how has it come about? Well I was packing up at a pile small bits and piece’s. Then low and behold there it is. A baby bot is born 3lb in all.
A couple of motor connected to some wheels, and another motor strapped in the middle of the wheels, with a blade or something attached. Some support legs attached, batteries, baby speed controllers, receiver, and hay presto there it is a baby bot.
Now all I need to do is make it strong enough. If it hit anything at the moment, it would self-destruct.
That might look impressive but it isn’t going to win and comps like that.
Here is a pic of the design, and I will update as the bot develops.

Well I haven't added any thing to here (or any other's of my bots,) So I thought it was about time.
Little Brute was a little scared of all the big boys so he needed his big brother.
His big brother is a Feather weight.

as you can see in the pic, the wheels are the armor, and the center support arm is what stops the weapon from hitting the floor.
I plan on having several support arms, set at different angles to be able to adjust the hieght of the weapon from the ground.
at the moment I am getting prices for having the parts cut to shape.
The design is about 95% completed. need to take out a bit more wieght, finalise the support arm, add mounting points for the IBC, Bat, etc.
And I spose you are going to ask for specs, well here are some of them.
(Specs may change with out warning as design is not finalised.)
Chase / Mounts:
Base Plate 10mm Alu
Motor mounts Alu
Gearbox mounts Alu
Electrical:
IBC Speed controller
Sanyo RC3300 12V packs x2
Drive train:
XU1 motor & Modified Gearbox with output shaft support
Wheels, 200mm Dia. 4mm thick water pipe with 8 x 5mm spocks and center hub
Weapon:

Spinning bar with 1Kg ball of steel at each end
Slip Clutch (to help save the motor)
Dimenstions:
200mm long
430mm Wide
250mm high
510mm Weapon
Currently weighing 12.5 Kg, but needs to loss anothe 500g for bolts and electricals. but I dont see it being a problem. _________________ It's all about the destruction.
