Obliterator is a 150g Antweight cobat robot with a flat body, an aggressive design, and a large horizontal weapon spinning at speeds of 25,000 rpm. Haven’t heard of combat robotics before? It’s basically custom RC cars with weapons trying to destroy each other! This bot is my second antweight bot, with more to come!
Waiting on a reviewer. We'll let you know as soon as there's a decision.
I added some very spiky and long bristles to the back of my bot, to add a thick line of defense behind the bot, to protect it from hard hits while remaining extremely light, unlike a solid extention.
A slot for the screw switch was also added, so i can turn the bot on and off from the outside, and ensuring that the switch cant accidentally be switched off in a battle.
Pretty short Devlog, but thank you for reading! Hope you’re as excited for this build as i am! Hopefully it gets approved quickly as well!
This is my new project, a 150g Antweight cobat robot with a flat body, an aggressive design, and a large horizontal weapon spinning at speeds of 25,000 rpm. This is in succession to Cat-aclysm, my prior combat robot, from which i learnt a lot and implemented into this one!
Most parts of this robot contrast Cataclysm, since i wanted to make something completely different, and also to fix all the features that malfunctioned or did not perform well in Cataclysm. A major feature that went very wrong in Cataclysm was its weapon blade, which kept on shattering on impact. This time, i ensured the blade would have a uniform spread of the pressure, and would not shatter instantly upon a hit.
I began with designing the weapon blade on Fusion, and unfortunately forgot to track it. With lots of help from a friend, who thouroughly explained exactly how to design a perfect weapon blade using his helpful diagrams, which ive attached below!
Next i imported all electronics and the weapon blade into a common Onshape document and lay them out where i saw fit. Then i made a rough sketch around them and built up. I added a hollow compartment to hold electronics, designed thick weapon struts, and quickly replaceable wheel guards. The wheels will be 3D printed this time, with O rings for extra grip.
If i have weight left from my 150g limit, i will be adding bristles to the back of the bot, since it was a very effective strategy used by Makers muse, which he has given permission to me to use.
Thank you for reading this devlog, it was pretty long, and i hope you enjoyed! I will be building this bot as soon as i get funding!
