So I live in Honolulu Hawaii and no one will ship a Lithium battery to me for me my handicap scooter no matter how well packaged etc. So I'm forced to use a lead acid battery which weighs a ton and decreases the efficiency of my scooter by 50%. I'm planning a trip to LA so I can purchase two 12v 12ah LiPO batteries to transport in my carry on luggage. I'm going to leave the lead acid batteries in LA recycle bin somewhere. Comments anyone?

i feel like the slots in the top panel of the most recent version of tombstone would allow the debris from the box to float in and short something out. to me, its more of a risk than a solution to overheating
@ray93683 күн бұрын
It's kind of neither. We had to lose some weight so cut some slots out of the top and bottom to lose a few pounds. And pretty much all of the electronics used are sealed fairly well. I've used some older speed controllers that were kind of open, but all the modern stuff is pretty well sealed.

I might be a little late, but what material is the black bar that you fought against Minotaur? I've been trying to get some information on it and best I could get was from the creator himself!
@ray93683 күн бұрын
The bar used in the Minotaur match was made from S7 tool steel. It's great because you can get toughness and hardness from the same material, but sadly when it fails it just snaps. So it's great, right up until it sucks ;)

This was a question I meant to ask when the initial waves were shown, but you mentioned that the winners would possibly all come back and fight later. However, there's only seven waves... is there some secret eighth wave or a secret bot as a wildcard or just picking one of the runner up's from the past to fill that gap?
@ray93687 күн бұрын
When the idea was put forth (to me at least) for Faceoffs, that was what they had in mind. But like most things in the combat robot world, I'm sure the ideas are adjusting as we go along. They will need the viewership on the series to do really well before committing to much else, or that would be my guess anyway.

@ray93688 күн бұрын
Spinners with smaller diameter spin circle have much higher rpms, which can cause a lot of the hum sound you refer to. And the high rpm stuff needs to use bearings, whereas I use bushings instead, and bearings also have a bit of hum to them as well when spun up.
