_cirrus_Migrated ESC and Receiver to a Malenki nano.... #battlebot #antweight
DavidMy #antweight #battlebot ended up in the middle of the ranking at the Hack&Make Nuremberg. I learned a lot and meet many cool people. My next bot will be more competitive but still unweaponized.
blherrouMore kids attending the catbot class these days in addition to adults. The soldering can be a little difficult for them, but they really enjoy the final stages of the process.
The faces of kids and grownups alike light up when they realize they're about to have a fully functioning rc bot they built themselves. It's very rewarding!

The CAD for this bot keeps getting more complicated.

Inside the catbot, the electronics are very simple. This receiver board also serves as the power distribution board and basically the only electronics.
The 9v battery powers the board, which then sends power to the 2 lifter motors and the 2 drive motors based on the signal received from the cheapo radio transmitter. That's it.

This catbot is a kitbot for the local makerspace. Modified a thingiverse design to work for this purpose and I'm pretty pleased with the result!

Part of the reason we decided to do the Viper kit when we did is because there's an annual competition coming up that's closer to us than any other competition, by quite a bit.
The posting I saw had no contact info other than an email address. The first couple emails I had sent (months in advance) got no response. I sent an email a few weeks in advance trying to register (at this point we had the kit in-hand), and got a response that the registration deadline (not mentioned in the posting) had passed and they had hit capacity anyhow.
Boo.
So we could either wait until September for DragonCon, or drive really, really far to go to something a bit sooner. Well, we're registered and planning to go to our first competition next weekend. It's road trip time!
Wish us luck.
