3lb Horizontal Spinner for Full Combat (2024)

Doc Fully Assembled

Yee Haw baby, it's time to ride the range with this big iron! And by big iron, I mean a 400g AR500 blade painted silver to be used as a weapon in 3lb combat.

I promise this name is funny just think about it for a minute

I'll update this page later with more detail on design decisions, but here's the specs:

  • Weapon blade is 400g (1/3 of robot weight roughly)
  • 4006 brushless weapon motor
  • Carbon Fiber Nylon weapon pulleys
  • Dual weapon belts for redundancy
  • 1/2 inch Titanium weapon shaft (bought from Toby, builder of T3)
  • 4mm Machined Carbon Fiber top/bottom plates
  • 1mm Carbon Fiber battery access hatches
  • Rear forks to counteract wedges
  • Wheelguards to protect fragile wheel shafts
  • Just 'Cuz Gecko Motors (better for 4S operation)
  • 850 mah GNB 4S battery

It lasted so long and took so many direct hits in this fight, both from hitting the wall and from landing on the floor. The weapon motor actually disconnected from the body on that last hit (I forgot to loctite it in my rush to get FOUR bots running for this event -_-)
