Death Edge... |
|
|
|
This bot was built on a whim so I dont really have much pictures or any drawings from the early stages of its construction, or from the middle stages for that matter. The thought behind this design is a more reliable more damaging beetle than my current one Mangle Gore. Anyways, here it is: |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
This is the earliest picture I have of Death Edge, as you can see it uses two escaps for drive, the white plastic is 3/8" uhmw. |
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
In this picture the other weapon support has been mounted, I plan on using a 1/2" shaft, because the weapon would be too strong for my normal prefered 1/4" shaft. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here you can see one of the blades. This is made for a black and decker Edge hog, but it looked so cool it inspired my entire bot. |
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is the top of view of said blade. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here you can see the armor for the bot(1/16" lexan) as well as the other two blades from edge trimmers. |
|

|
A few days before it was to compete, we got the weapon motor and controller. That is a AXI rotating can brushless motor and a 40 amp jeti brushless controller |
|
|
|
|
|
|
At this point I was able to test the bot with the wavey blade. Here is the video of that test. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
This is the damage from that test, thats 1/32" titanium that cut cut through with ablade that isnt even sharp. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
I also had a saw that i could use for really soft opponents. You can see the new titanium front armor as well. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
This is the damage the saw did to the same robot frame, it was able to cut through the 3/'8" uhmw as well as the 1/16" lexan. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
I got the cool blade mounted and here is what it looks like now, waiting for a competition. |
