This video was made in response to comments from some of you guys looking to get into combat robots. This isn't a full on tutorial video, but it should provide a good starting point for those who need a run down on the basics and don't know where to start. Happy building!

So those limited servos that you recommended for lifters and clamps, can you make those go really fast like for a hammer weapon.
@CarterHurd2 жыл бұрын
yes, but I've never seen a servo-driven hammer bot do any damage. The only Ant/Beetle hammer robots that I've seen do damage have used high-power brushless motors to drive the hammer. Hammer bots have to impart a lot of energy into only 180deg of travel.

@@burastaroii7506 Okay, perfect. Those are Brushed motors, so you will want a brushed ESC. They draw 1.6Amps at stall, so you will want an ESC with greater than 1.6A output. You will want something with reverse, and probably something with a BEC (battery elimination circuit). If you only have 1 motor to control I'd recommend the tiny ESC: www.fingertechrobotics.com/proddetail.php?prod=ft-tinyESCv2 if you have 2 motors to control you could use two tiny ESCs, or one of these: www.endbots.com/products/endbots-desc

Start with a simple bot first. As for machine learning, most applications use external compute for training the neural networks and that stuff, not the robot’s compute. Scope the algo and related compute budget first, then find suitable hardware second.

Over the last year I've learned more about heavyweight construction and would probably want to make some big changes before applying again. I have potential sponsorship and fab support where I live now, but I'll be moving in a couple months, so I'm not really sure what the future holds.

@CarterHurd6 жыл бұрын
The rules are very similar between competitions- if you build a robot for one you'll very likely be able to enter another. But, like you have found, there is no universal rulebook. This is because there is no standardized arena. Some arenas can't allow fire or the floor will get damaged, some competitions aren't comfortable with hosting robots using certain pneumatic systems, etc.
