Hello, i'm Mystic, i'm a new roboteer for France looking to finish my first beetleweight robot and enter it in the next MMM event in April (assuming COVID doesn't throw a wrench into that), at the moment this is the current progress on the robot:
At the moment, there would only be screwing the left drive motor and top panel and adding the safety link and power lights to have a working robot that, to my knowledge, would be legal, but i'm considering trying to cut down some weight (currently it's sitting at 1370 grams because the thing is really wide, around 30cm if we don't count the wheels) to add some sort of a servo lifter on it, if only to not be just a boring weaponless box (original plan was to add paint scrapers at the bottom to make it sort of like a "dustpan")
If i do go with that i'll probably shrink the chassis's width and only keep the front section as it is, cause really wide stance would probably annoy anything that'd rely on flanking (and also the front panel would then double as wheelguards from the front), current plan for the lifter would be some kind of thin 3D printed forks that'd get swapped out for another thing or removed entirely when facing a horizontal spinner, since they'd just be easy damage points for them, only issue is at the moment my only available filament is PLA, which i know to be pretty bad for robot combat, especially at BW level, so idk if that'd suffice, even if i don't run them against spinners.
As far as specs go:
BBB's 22 gear motors for drive
7mm thick chopping boards for armor, L-brackets for attaching them together
850mAh 3S lipo batteries for power
ESCs are some china ESCs that i sadly don't really remember anything about (had those around for a looooooong time)
hopefully gonna be posting more updates sorta soon as i rework the chassis to be smaller, get my hands on a suitable servo + BEC and work out how to set-up the lifter
P:S apologies for posting in english but i'm really bad at german so figured decent english would be better than very broken german lol
