I have personally used TPU forks in my beetleweight and it has worked well for me. I would recommend changing the print orientation of the forks to print in its vertical orientation rather than on its side. It allows the tip of the fork to be paper thin. You can also angle the fork downward by 1 degree to add some preloading. I also notice that your robot tends to tip back a little whenever you accelerate which prevented you in getting good bite in certain exchanges. Moving the wheels back or adding a wheelie nub on the underside could reduce the tipping.

Some people have already mentioned this, but I’d go with swapping out the infill for walls of the same weight. These walls could be designed to spread out impacts across the whole structure. I was thinking of a two-layer wall design where the outer wall has fewer, larger triangular sections, and the inner wall is denser. This way, the impact dispersion happens in two stages, using more surface area to spread the force.
@ransombotАй бұрын
If your controller lets you you might try throttling the spinner both manually and dynamically off your inputs. IE high speed when driving strait forward/backwards, and at low speed when turning and resetting to a mid range between the two values for faster response. Should give you a good balance between having control and ability to be aggressive.

22:10 instead of having a round (o-ring style) tire, change the shape to a square on the half that contacts the rim, and in the rim itself, print ridges. If you can, glue the tire on over those ridges by pressing down with your fingers using the rubber glue from the thread locking compound guys (you know who). That tire, even if it's coming apart, with those mods, should still hold to the rim where it counts. And if you keep spares, you can cut up chunks and glue them over with the rubber glue (it will hold).

@SnakebitSTIАй бұрын
Stranded is the way to go. You can make stranded wire a bit more manageable by dipping the ends in flux then tinning them before attempting to solder them down. Just the very ends, though. Soldering the strands together will make the wire behave more like solid core, i.e. more susceptible to fatigue. If there's space on the PCB, taping down the wire can make alignment easier. It's fiddly to get wires taped into the right spot, but it makes soldering easier. Using more flexible wires also helps. Just makes it easier to get the wire to stay where you want it while soldering.

If you are looking into alternative materials, I highly recommend Ninjaflex TPU. IT prints very clean (if dried properly) has great layer adhesion and springs back super quickly (not like other TPUs that are somewhat sluggish to return to the original position). I use it quite a bit at work, primarily the 85a hardness which is very tough and the 75a hardness one as well. 75a is so soft, that it can be hard to get good print results, as the print deforms so easily under the pressure of the nozzle. The 85a is great though an properly dried prints so nice, with great mechanical properties.

Here is a weakness I spotted before I watched the full video: the fins in the wheels actually increase the leverage of certain impacts right where the shaft meets the wheels. I would use some form of circular shoulder around the shaft, protruding from the body. That shoulder would absorb some of the impact. The trick is to figure out the clearance. If you give too little clearance, if the shaft or the wheel deforms, you can't spin anymore. Too much clearance and it doesn't help at all. I would manually bend the wheel and shaft assembly to establish the beginning of plastic deformation (end of elastic deformation) and set the clearance such that it would stop the wheel-shaft assembly from reaching plastic deformation. between this shoulder and the wheel you could have 2 teflon washers of the same diameter as the shoulder, to help the wheels to still move if they are rubbing against the shoulder.

For the wheels, if you happen to have dual extruder printer still around or just a lot of time and extra material, try material interlocking. Not just hard core that goes into the soft TPU wheel, but printing the core with the wheel and really mesh the materials together. Already like 1-2mm interlocking area and that TPU isn't going anywhere. Cura and Orca slicers have already settings for this but considering the size and requirements, just making like 3 loops of the core material to interlock into the TPU and 3 loops of TPU in the core and that wheel shouldn't be going anywhere. I would remember Lost In Tech mentioned this in his latest video about TPU.

Great design!👌 What if you make wheel hubs, and or wheels out of the tough stuff you printed the forks with, then add those sacrificial "fans" on the outer sides of them. I don't know if it's possible to print a single piece, blending two different filament types, if so, then cool. If not, you could either join them with a strong glue, or some small screws, or both. Also, you could incorporate some level of interlocking "keys" into the design, to further help with adhesion of the different filament parts. That gyroscopic precession definitely is trippy to witness! I wonder if you can incorporate a rugged mechanism to somehow tilt the rotor slightly in a desired direction to use the gyroscopic precession to your advantage when turning, instead of fighting it. Using the same principle demonstrated in that science experiment taught in schools of the person holding a spinning bicycle wheel vertically while sitting on a swivelling office chair, then tilting the wheel off axis to induce yaw. I'm just looking forward to seeing more!😃👍 Go the angry 'lil pussy! 😼😅

At impact testing you did all tests back to back with the first sample. I can imagine that tiny cracks / micro fractures already occured before the final test and resulting it to fail on the first hit on the final setting. But than again i think its as close as a test to Battle damage in the arena.

I edited everything for brevity but to be sure I also did secondary tests at the height the first sample broke (if they did break) - the PLA Pro1 sheared clean off at the same height with just as much violence. But yes, repeated impacts are going to happen in the arena for sure!

Make the tires out of the 95A tpu or the 64D tpu and the hub out of the PA6 GF30 or 64D tpu plus you can integrate some PA6 GF30 as bracing for the weapon mount.

TPU and PLA, even glass reinforced stuff, bonds really well when printed.. Maybe consider getting the best of both worlds by having spines of PLAs and meat of TPUs? Godspeed for the royale! o7

I subbed when I noticed your electronic music rig in the BG. The thought behind this tiny bot tho, is really impressive, and inspiring! 👍👍 Us thinking people, need to take back the spotlight on social media, from all the awful fascists that are trying to take over the world. Btw, if the music in this is yours, I dig the music you are making, too. 👍

Thoughts from this video: Perhaps some spring steel strips bent slightly lower than the floor with little plastic tips be good to keep the forks low when accelerating since the positioning of the wheels means it slightly wheelies. That Titanium was so much more damaged than I expected it to get. Now I'm wondering if there is something to the tombstone style of having a removable tip to keep the expensive part of the titanium in good shape. Have you considered a eurothane pour over a metal disk for the wheels where the disk is there basically as a backplate with attachment points for the eurothane and a dshaft slot for attacking to the motor hubs?
