I found out recently that there are leagues of robots out there that do miniature first person and autonomous battles with nerf and airsoft weapons. I wanted to do a robot specifically with my little Brother that would really keep his interest and not be nearly as complicated as the Jarvis project. The walking bipedal is not avail from Dj yet but the good news is beginner class may have tracks or wheels! So this means cyler (this projects tag name at the moment) is eligible to compete. Ironically the local airport league also allows robots to play with people. The torso is a omnibot style , specifically a robie sr. I picked up a rad 2.0 base which will get 12v power making this robot practically all-terrain.
Daytime pictures show alot more than last nights. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I think i will leave the factory 6v battery location we will see. I need to pick up ply wood to make a flat top for the omnibot torso to mount to on the rad base.
Oh i plan on chopping the handle portion of the guns off as they are hollow and serve no useful purpose on the robot. The trigger mechanism is just a switch to give the motor that powers the gun power. So maybe i could use a switching transistor?
Also does everyone think i should leave the treads black or camo spray those as well?
I am planning to enter next year to the competition next year, but I am planning to make a quadruped. I am currently making a small robot with a bb gun that I take out of : www.walmart.com/ip/Crosman-Airsoft-Pulse-R71-Tac-Repeater/15939524. I think that black treads will be better.
Okay, I'm hooked! I think Bob needs a retrofit. But I do want to get another RAD base for him. Hmmmmm - the possibilities. Even if there isn't a war in my area, I could use him to torment the dogs. MUA HA HA HA
Great! That's the spirit Brett. My newfound madness for robots is contagious! =) well shoot up robot makers omnibot . We may not be a 6 million dollar robot but together we are 5.9 million lmao
On a awesome note I scored a rad 1.0 fully functional with darts , battery and remote! https://www.ebay.com/itm/RAD-ROBOT-with-3-Foam-Darts-Battery-Charger-And-Remote-/190726970152?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&nma=true&si=joH5%2BuqAdxpFWOFGxDPsFY8so0E%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc
Congrats! And happy modding! What were your plans with the arms of the robot?
