Partss!

Funding Approved

Thank you soo much @RR for approving funding for my project! Sorry I haven’t posted a devlog in a while, I was ordering parts and doing the final tweaks to the design. All the parts have been ordered, and I’m currently waiting for delivery.

Lower Chassis

I lowered the chassis by making the wheels closer to the floor, and sloped the front armour to restrict my bot from getting picked up from the front or outmanoeuvred. This also allows my bot to scoop up other bots and guide them into my weapon blade.

Mouting the BE1806 motor

I split the chassis struts into seperate parts so they can be printed flat, which makes them stronger vertically. Then I added mounting holes for M2 screws, which directly screw into the motor. Then a channel was extruded to route the motor wires back through the chassis and to the ESC and the Malenki.

Break

This project will be taking a back seat for the next week as I wait for parts to deliver and due to upcoming exams! I’ll finish the build pretty soon after though, as the event I’m competing in is on 20th September!

Controller

I also purchased the controller for the bot, and will need to set it up myself soon! It is a Jumper T16 with replaced ribbons. An annoying thing is that i have to charge the batteries using a specific LiPo charger that I don’t have, so I’ll need to get that.

Thank you!

Thanks for reading this devlog if u made it this far! Hope you’re as excited for this bot as I am!

P.S: I still need a name, so please suggest me some names in the comments below! Thank you!
