My Most Advanced Combat Robot Yet, By Far - Loft Part 2
Thanks to PCBWay for sponsoring the project, check them out at my affiliate link: pcbway.com/g/1WB7o7
Loft is a Featherweight Flywheel Flipper, a machine that quickly dumps the stored energy in it's flywheel through a launching arm to an opponent. Technical challenges abound, it's definately the most complicated (and expensive) robot i've yet built. This video covers the second half of version 1's development in preparation for competition just a few short days away.
If you're interested in combat robotics, there may be a club near you! They are often active on facebook.

Переглядів 11 тис.28 днів тому
Thanks to PCBWay for sponsoring this video and project, check them out at my affiliate link here: pcbway.com/g/1WB7o7 Flywheel flippers stand as one of the rarest and most difficult combat robot archetypes, so I'm giving it a shot myself. Taking inspiration from a varied history of the type, my 13.6kg battlebot will use a differential winch system to (hopefully) launch robots high into the air....
