length is about 550-600mm, width about 400mm, 80mm high and basically exactly 13.6kg.
6mm steel all over, 10mm polycarbonate on the top and bottom, ibc control, should be using drill nicads now (3 of them) and the drive is two kk2 9.6v drills at 12v. its also got the second version of jakes wheels which kick ass and a half, no problems at all at robowars.
ermm and its got a big ass thwacker arm made from two pieces of box section and a 6mm steel scoopy on the end. and the spikes are made from a gearstick

little robot, weighs about 580g at the moment. the disk is 150g in weight, 90mm in diameter and spins at ~9000rpm. sounds like an angry bee on steroids.
drive is two cybot drives with airplane wheels, i want to replace the motors with 12v versions so i can run everything at 12v.
ermm 6mm polycarbonate base, drilled out big time and the entire weapon system came out of a VCR, the motor that spins the weapon is a p9004 from dick smith (the big daddy one lol).

in the works at the moment. the little pile of parts on wheels is the tester of it so i can test the setup of the drive.
its going to have 6mm ali side armour and back armour. 4mm steel base and 12v drills at 12v for drive. the weapon will be a 175mm drum thats 14mm thick and weighs ~2kg. plan is to spin it up real fast being a small diameter. im talking 5000rpms here.
and now im having flashbacks.....

umm well it was my first robot... it was built for the failed bullant class which was like 2kg (technically i built it because andrew said some guy was holding an event for them) but it turned out pretty shoddy.
used a huge 550 motor to power the overhead bent bar which was like 600mm in diameter and weighed 150g. the batteries where a single 12v drill pack and the drive was those twin tamiya gearboxes.
the drives just kept shattering themselves and the way the weapon was mounted meant it just kept flying off, and if it did stay on it usually just flipped over.
wasnt too good at all but it was my first building exercise.
SCREWED -

embarrasing second attempt at a robot. this one was my first featherweight and didnt turn out too bad visually.
it was all built out of 6mm lexan bolted together with 25x25x3 L bracket and m6 bolts. there was a 2mm aluminium wedge on the back and a 4mm steel plate thing bolted on the front.
drive was 150mm wheels and 9.6v drills running of a 12v 7ah SLA. the controls where a switch system with servos and microswitches.
it failed miserably because the motor mounts just broke almost instantly and the wires ripped off the speed controllers when the motors spun around.. it moved about 10cm and stopped.
SCREWY - (cant seem to find any photos of it.. ill dig one up tonight.)
well screwy had a novel history. basically i was going to robowars and had no robot. so i needed one obviously and was getting bored as hell so i called welch up to come over and said "help me finish my robowars bot" , despite not having even started it.. so about 2 hours before he came over i grabbed screweds frame, cut it in half, and moved the sides closer in so the wheels where on the outside and thus screwy was born.
it had no wedge, or no plow and weighed like 6kg. i soldered on all the wires and got better motor mounts made by jeff and headed off to robowars.
it worked awesome for what it was. i mean against IBC powered bots and stuff it worked alright, it only ever clagged when i flipped myself over on batty bot and the hastily resoldered LED wire shorted out on the power switch and the whole wiring melted down, w00t.
COBRA (lexan version) -

im actually proud of this little robot looking back on the videos and pictures.
given i built it almost entirely myself it wasnt to bad. it was essentially screwy, but i bolted a hammer onto the back that nick welded for us, and added an IBC to control the works.
it was ridiculously fast, add a couple of meters per second and top of inspector general and thats what im getting at. it had 150mm wheels on 9.6v drills at 12v and used a singlel 7ah SLA for power. the IBC was just packed into the top of the bot and rested snuggly over the motor mounts and between the battery and side. armour was 6mm polycarb and it just used ali l bracket to bolt it all together.
the spin speed on it was easily as fast as arachnophobia and the hammer length was really long, it was about 420mm i think.
looking back on it i should have kept it around..
and thus concludes team auroras history now wake up all of you hehe _________________ www.demon50s.com - Minimoto parts
