Mostly I just want to know how the electronics in the drive system work @drumrobotics

@@SpacemanFPV1 Hi, So yes of course my esc's are bidirectional, as there is no other way for the robot to turn or go backwards. I use FS2A reciever with fs-i6 transmitter and not elrs so I can't help with that.

@@SpacemanFPV1 So in this version I used blheli-s esc's, but they are not bought with an installed bi directional programe. You have to program it with arduino and chose the biderectional option, as they all come in one directional. This option worked, but for my newer 4th version I have bought Am32 esc's already programed specially made for brushless drive's and that I hope will give me better driving.

@ well it’s still PWM so the mixes are just what I’m after

@@CREEMkitty7 Not quite🙂

Two centimeters? That's very thick and you would have plenty of grip. I think you meant 2 milimeters and with that you would still have similar grip just that the tire will use up way faster, but the grip would be the same.

@@amka1097 For this version of Hotline I used a 450 mah 3S HV (13 volts) battery, but it was way too big as it never ran out of charge and could hold up to two matches with no charge. Now changed to a 380mah 3s battery as it's way lighter, yet it can still survive the full 3 minutes fighting. Hope that helped.

@@DrumBotics thanks!

@@DrumBotics what C rating are they, because I worry about battery sag, and my motors pulling too much.

@@SpacemanFPV1 75c, but 35c would work as fine.

@ I plan on using 80c

Thanks a lot, and I was curious, Are combat robots , particularly the smaller weight class robots like 1lb 3lb a thing in China? I have never actually seen them compete. Regards.

@@meepmeepme Thanks. Nope, never tried 4in1 esc. I will use two in one repeat robotics brushless esc for my drives tho.

@@Tecno_sth 30 grams per wheel is very heavy and in that case your rims could be easily printed with 100 infill. You can save some weight by making them 4 walls with 30 something infill and that would work. I'm using a hard plastic if my wheels would be placed on the motors shaft so that the wheel would be tightly mounted on the shaft. if it's by belt then tpu, soft nylon works the best.

@ thx for the great answer. I’m gonna print the rim from ASA and I have some silicon 30A lying around for the rest. The 30g is the max for the wheels as buffer.

@@MikeOpath96 Very glad you think so! And for the restock. Now I have some bigger projects to make so i'm planing to restock after a month and a half. And so you don't miss it this time you can just subsbcribe to my shop with your email and get notified when it's restocked🙂

@DrumBotics alright ill get that done now so I can make sure I won't miss out as I really want this kit thankyou

@@forceofwillgaming8475 Of course! I can ship internationally to everywhere. Without batterys, but this 200 mah 2s battery is pretty common. Most of the buyers are from US so there is nothing to worry about.

@@devingeorge6509 Well, my robots are on the same controller so it was impossible.

@DrumBotics Well fair enough- would be kinda funny to see the bots operating simultaneously with synchronized movements tho.... put it to music then its a dance lol

@@devingeorge6509 I mean, it is possible😀

That's perfect! Yes fairyweight is 150 gram category, in Lithuania we call it antweight.

@@Duckduck-dagreat Yeah, it's a gyro effect when a heavy weapon spins really fast. And this drum spins vertically so that's how it gets the effect.

@@Duckduck-dagreat Well as I compete with the exact same robot you would get, you can see that it wins a lot. three first place wins in three competitions in a row. Easy to assemble and made them perfect for beginers, so when it will get back in stock which should be after 1 and a half months as I'm now making other projects, you could purchase it and start your combat robotics journey🙂

Be aware that 150g is a less common class in the US, where 1lb is more common. The kit looks pretty solid, but you will face a much higher level of competition at an average US event than you see here, so your results may vary.

@ryanbratley6199 I understand your view. This competition was not packed and the robots were weaker sure. You can see some other videos I have fought against vertical spinners, big 200 gram drum spinners that are close to US level for sure. I have just competed in with the kit in another competition which had better robots and still it did fantastic. Do not underestimate it and Lithuanian robot fighting scene.

@@DrumBotics I'm not underestimating the scene, just making what I feel is an important point to a seemingly new competitor about what they could expect to be similar or different about their own experience when compared to what's shown in this video. I haven't seen your other videos, and I have no way of knowing if they have either. I personally don't see winning as the main point of being in this sport, so results don't matter much to me either way, but what does matter is that the kit looks, as I said, solid and well put together.

@ryanbratley6199 That's fair👍

@@Duckduck-dagreat Of course! 150 gram robots and specially the drumbotics kit are a perfect way to start as they are not as dangerous and it's easier to repair them. There are a lot of 150 gram competitions in US as others have told me so give it a try!

Oh, ok I will consider buying a kit.

@@LeonardoGomez-d8m p1p, with custom made enclosier.

I ordered them and made them blue through jlcpcb.

I have competed with it already in ROBOCHALLANGE and it was crazy. Making a video about it in the moment expect it to be out this month!

@@nirodha7028 Thanks! But you are talking about the weapon teeth bolts? If yes then internal hex bolts would be less effective as they have a rounder edge and it doesn't dig into the opponent that good. Have tried them.

@@DrumBotics even the sunken head variants? Do they have a bigger fillet on the edges of them? Never realised. In that case yeah… don’t change em ;-)

@@GalacticSpartanThat's great to hear! Where will you bring it? I would like to see how the drumbotics kit stands against antweights from USA.

@@thombaz I don't know any in Hungary, Romania is close. Robochallange takes place in bucharest once a year. Best and biggest antweight and beatleweight competition in Europe, would recommend.

@@GadgetWhiz Thanks! And Yes, of course i will to to sigulda this week. Will bring my new 0.5kg version of tytotu as hotline is broken and there will be no antweights (200gram) one's.

It is nice to hear!

@@alexsalchemy Thanks!

Haha, Thanks😀

No. It is, because I have designed it for two years now and I keep the files to myself as I don't want anyone just make make one with no effort.

@DrumBotics ok

@@markxr1 Yes correct.

Making it right now!

@@CombatBro-Botics That is great to hear!

Well, I agree that in this particular video my editing was little too much with all the sound effects and transitions. In my new silicone wheels video I reduced those things. Maybe you could tell me if my newer video editing was less anoying?

i really liked the detail he was able to get in this video and the editing wasnt that bad

@SpacemanFPV1 I hope that my next video that comes out pretty soon now will be worlds better in editing that this one. Now that I have rewatched it it's a little anoying with all these sound effects🙂

@@CombatBro-Botics Hi, Thank you, fiberlogy

@@Pir4tA50 Thank you! The weapon diameter is 80mm (the furthest tooth, because it is unsymetrical) And it weights around 90-100 grams.

@@DrumBotics wow such a quick reply! you're great man! I'm planning on building something similar to your Hotline, would it be possible to exchange a few messages with you for some advice?

@Pir4tA50 Of course, Search in facebook "DrumBotics" and message me on messenger.

@@Daniyoyo By saying plastic antweight you mean 454 grams or 150 grams? I mean my kit is mostly out of plastic, but the weapon has some steel teeth. If you find any 150 gram competition I would recomend getting mine, because everything is said on what you need and what to do. I do not know if there are 150 gram plastic ants, or in the 454. You sure there aren't any not plastic competitions near you? They should be held together at once. You can take anything that fits into the weight limit😉 even hex bugs. It should work and be movable by your controler. Just check the rules if a particular switch is needed or something else. Hope that helps.

@@DrumBoticsit is 1lb(450g) plastic antweight here in the US. They don’t have it as small as 150g at least where I’m located .. do you have 1lbs kit or do you know how to go about getting started in making one

@Daniyoyo I don't make 1 pounders Yet. You can join the antweight facebook group and there should be peaple who sell some 1 pound kits. I know there are some, although not sure if they are meant for plastic ants.

@@Daniyoyo Check out Palm Beach Bots for plastic ant (PLANTS). They sell kits that are fairly competitive. You can also look at SCAR or Team Malice for parts, CAD files, and general info. Take a look at Robot Combat Events to find contests near you.

@@Daniyoyorepeat robotics has the scalar cad up you can modify
