After the drubbing Dandelion took
at Motorama last year, we decided to rebuild it in the
image of the latest Team Daisy design scheme.
The electronics.
The plan for this bot was to make it small, so we
needed to make the electronics as compact as possible.
Those are two old Victor 883 speed controllers, with
fans and backs removed.
The frame. Quarter inch aluminum on the outside,
and 3/8 polycarbonate on the inside.
The frame with
the baseplate attached, three wheels test fit and one
motor in place
All the wheels
and the weapon mounts in place.
Drive and weapon
motors installed. The polycarb inner pieces hold
everything in place.
Here you can see how the chain works; it kind of winds
all around.
With the
electrical system installed.
One more shot,
with everything except the weapon on board.
The weapon.
the blades are 3/8" steel that I hardened myself, and
the blades are held together with aluminum standoffs
of various shapes.
