I Built an Antweight Combat Robot - Y&D Mk1

[@alexsalchemy]

Oooh baby, me gusta! Love the design philosophy and the result! Makes me want to try a 150g.

[@engineered_cha0s]

Thanks! I saw your video and then binged every other one 😅 took design inspiration as you can see. Its now actually kind of evolved and taken a new path with mk2

[@BenjaminRansom-p1s]

I love you calling Hydra tombstone

[@engineered_cha0s]

Oops 😅 I was copy pasting the text blocks... Must've missed that one

[@BrokenLinkRobotics]

Good stuff, keen to see the right reports. I recall the early ones being quite the ride

[@engineered_cha0s]

@@BrokenLinkRobotics Thanks! Yeah, they really were 😅 I might join some of the events into one video to try and catch-up on the backlog.

[@TrentSheather]

Yellow and Dangerous is seriously impressive for a first bot. Very excited to fight Synergy once you've had a chance to finish it.

[@engineered_cha0s]

Keen to join the overhead attack club! (Once I get this thing underweight again)

[@GagePulkrabek]

you may be able to get away with getting a mini wedge on the rear of the bot which would also favor you to fall to one side

[@engineered_cha0s]

I did consider that but kind of wanted to stick with the simplicity of the "big stick" mentality especially for a first robot. It let me put all my weight into weapon and gives me a simple gameplan for each fight rather than being overloaded with options. I've definitely since considered (and hastily tried) a rear wedge but I think I'll need more modularity in general as it would be good to maybe have a lighter weapon with options for overhead armour or a wedge

[@razer259]

Very impressive. Looking forward to seeing more from this little beast.

[@LukeQuin]

great video. Would recommend a 100hz high pass filter in the video editor. there is a huge amount of low frequency background noise.

[@engineered_cha0s]

Cheers, I'll have to look into that

[@engineered_cha0s]

Could it possibly be related to the colour space of my phone not being corrected by the editor? It took me a few videos to get that right

[@LukeQuin]

@@engineered_cha0s The video looks fine. just the audio where you're talking. The mic is picking up low frequency background road noise or something. It might not be very obvious unless you have some good headphones or a subwoofer, but the bass in the audio is unnecessary when just talking because a human man usually only talks as low as 90hz or so. so anything below 90hz audio range should be removed.

[@engineered_cha0s]

Ah right ok, that'd be because I was recording in my backyard there's cars and birds in the background 😅 the most recent video's audio was on a proper mic inside so should be better

[@gtdgabriste1]

Thank you for sharing your journey through this. Dont take this the wrong way, but Jame's videos show us how a genius approaches a design and build. And not that you are not a genius as well, but you are a bit closer to my intelligence level when it comes to bots 😂. Tell James I said "algorithm".

[@engineered_cha0s]

@@gtdgabriste1 haha I get what you mean 😅 just gotta keep doing things and we'll improve. I hope to get to James' level at some point! Definitely something to strive for.

[@5eurosenelsuelo]

Do you have an accelerometer installed to reverse the controls depending on weather it's upside down? It might be a little be of a pain to integrate but it'd pay off in simplicity of control.

[@engineered_cha0s]

@@5eurosenelsuelo nope, just practiced driving both ways (: my new iteration uses an all-in-one board from llamaforge that serves as a reciever and drive escs which lets me assign a switch to flick to invert controls. Being able to drive upside down is still a useful skill though

[@paulie2burgers976]

Most people just learn to drive inverted. It's really easy after a little practice.

[@mattstewart2750]

Is the weapon press fit on the 1806?

[@engineered_cha0s]

@@mattstewart2750 kind of, I cleaned both surfaces and sand away the coating on the rotor, apply JB weld to the weapon and slip it on. I use a jig made of Lego to hold everything level

[@mattstewart2750]

@engineered_cha0s Ahh, that makes sense. Thanks for the reply.

[@emipop21]

Gi. you have a great logo. Did you make it yourself, or and freelance contract? Wanna share the contact for it?

[@engineered_cha0s]

Thanks! The logo is a part I made from a previous project. I was trying to design a 3d printable bistable auxetic material (Steve mould had a good video on it). Anyway, couldn't think of a logo so made it black in fusion and took a screenshot 😅 Thumbnails are screenshots with extra stuff added in with ms paint (not the highest tech ever).
