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.
Alright now that high torque servos and EZ Robot cam have arrived I can continue on my brothers warrior robot. It needs two shoulder servos installed and a servo horn attached to each airsoft gun. Cables ran from the motors inside tje guns to the torso of the robot. Also I must mount the cam , mod the cam for higher light sensitivity by removing ir filter and putting a few IR leds in the original omnibot eye holes
Whoop whoop lots of Frankenstein robot toy mods tonight.
I'm doing this mod just like my robots. Alequa started to cut on it but came down with a migraine then a fever so I picked up the dremel and helped out.
The first cuts were made
I measured this thing probably 15 times to make it 10 5/8 long wheelbase. This is slightly longer than stock but rubber treads fit tighter without sagging.
Using painters tape I taped off the back side of the gap and applied 5 min epoxy which takes about 20 min to cure to be solid.Looking good
Its too bad I canibalize two robots just for these mods lol.
My secret to lining everything up is square dowels and three drops of super glue. They keep the two chassis's in perfect alignment so I can tape off and epoxy the main seam. The center section on both robots has been epoxied now I just need to do the vertical side seams
Even after all the mods , glueing two a$$ ends of a chassis base together the setup still fits into the original topper....THat is nice! And going to be a powerful bot.
Alright more updates! I'm here with Alequa working on his robot..
We finished the epoxy on all the side seams of the hacked up rad 2.0 bases. Also we started trimming down the handle to lighten up the air soft weapon and also improve the looks.Such a mean looking robot! This little dude looks like he could be home security
