is there any legitimate footage of gruinator's right wheel functioning?

Tbh its hard to find any footage if it working lol Trying to address the issue with future versions.

you lost to an off the shelf robot?

Yes and no, Gru-inator is a off the shelf scalar kit that my dad runs. I was using a a experimental wedge config that was a bit old, just wanted to try something new! And that just shows the power of the scalar kit!

@giddybots3 ай бұрын
@@TeamVector441 Thank you! It's been a heck of a journey to get it to this point. My current drive advice is if you decide to swamp to fancy ESC's, make sure the end points are programmed to match your Tx so you can actually drive full speed 😅
@giddybots3 ай бұрын
Also, if you stick with RWD, I'd consider adding some kind of runners on the front to serve only as a low friction point with the ground. For example on Blight, I have four spikes cut from PTFE that screw to the chassis, and protrude ~1mm past the wedge. The tips are shaped to slide over imperfections easily while only having a ~1x3mm patch contacting the ground. They made it drive so much more consistently than when it was the wedge contacting the ground.
@TeamVector4413 ай бұрын
Oh I see, my current drive system is the repeat dual brushless escs, paired with the brushless mk3 motors that are with it. I think their already tuned for max speed but I could be wrong on that (I have no idea how to tune them lol). And that's really interesting with the PTFE config you have, I might have to explore doing that with Vector or figure out the 4 wheel drive on metal but that's really good advice! Thank you!

If you are still looking for a sturdy material for vectors rails, SRPP(self reinforced polypropelene) could definitely be worth a look at, It can be tough to source, but it is stronger and more rigid than polycarbonate and light at the same time.
@TeamVector4413 ай бұрын
Ill take a look at that! Im always looking to see what materials I can use on Vector to make it better, thank you for the recommendation!
@bummer63 ай бұрын
considering I've mostly seen vector fight in these small arenas, I think he'd benefit from gearing down his drive motors a bit. he seems very twitchy and hard to control. Also, the extra torque definitely couldn't hurt. Also, I'm wondering why gru-inator constantly seems to be running on one drive motor. Seems like at least one drive motor is always down and it gets stuck driving in circles.
@TeamVector4413 ай бұрын
Yeah I have thought about that too, I'm considering getting some different gear ratio gear boxes for smaller arenas might help significantly. And I've noticed that too, I think its the frame, when I screw down the plates sometimes their off slightly and can twist the chassis causing one of the wheels to not have contact. Ill have to see if I can fix that for the future, thank you for pointing that out! And in these cases usually the drive goes funky on metal floors when the magnets fall off, I think I have a solution to rectify it so hopefully it gets fixed :)
