Vertigo 3lb combat robot (Beetleweight)

thingiverse

First off, a major shoutout and thanks to redditors u/Xxx_tinyhippo_xxX and u/turdgargler for their help with my weapon system. I couldn't have completed this project without your support. (Edit: V1.5 is now out! This version fixes some major errors found within the chassis, and changes the shaft to make putting it, and the weapon on, easier. The wire holder has also been improved. Lastly, the switch suggestion has been changed from the charger jack version, whose wires burn out with the amount of current going through it, to the mini power switch, which can handle the current better. Look out for version 2.0 by the end of this year, which should have modified, lighter and more powerful electronics, and stronger frame, and a cheaper, heavier weapon disc!) This is my 3lb combat robot, Vertigo. Estimated, you should have about 22 spare grams after building the entire robot. This is meant to be a relatively competitive design, and not one for a beginner builder! I highly suggest building an antweight robot or a beetleweight wedge before working on this project. You will need: From Botkits: 2 780RPM drive motors and 1 Scorpion DESC: From Fingertech Robotics: 2 20A brushless ESC's 2 Fingertech Inrunners 2 150T belts 2 9T pulleys 2 30T drum spinner pulleys (No flanges) 1 Mini Power Switch 1 Terminal Block pair 1 4mm 0.75" wheel hub pair 1 2.25*0.75" wheel pair. 6-32 1/4" button head screws. SCE55 5/16" needle roller bearings From Endbots.com: 22mm gearmotor mounts. From Ebay/Amazon: 1 receiver: (No link-choose whatever receiver is compatible for your transmitter.) 18/20 gauge wire (For wiring) Some pieces of foam (Shock insulation) 1300MaH battery (I suggest the Tattu 1300mAh 3S 11.1V 45C RC Lipo Battery) 4-40 1/4" countersunk/button head screws (For securing the weapon shaft) From SendCutSend(Or CNC/Waterjet/Laser cutting company of your choice) Vertigo weapon disc (0.5" AR500 steel) and Vertigo's wedge (0.06" grade 5 titanium) Assembly should be straightforward, with each part going to it's corresponding place. Electronics may be a bit of a tight fit, but careful fitting should allow everything to fit within it's assigned spot. Print the bot out of carbon fiber PLA or NylonX...for reference, the chassis without anything on, made out of carbon fiber PLA, weighed about 207 grams. Make sure to print and buy spare parts!.
