Mad kudos for pulling this off, and having them hold up so well! I know when I was a kid if there'd been something like this at an event I'd have hovered around it the entire time.
People often think their code must be perfect when open sourcing, but you don't just open source it once. You open source it and then you or someone else fixes the stuff that needs fixing. Just open source it.
sure, But these dont fail safe. Yes they are only running 1s and servo powered weapons, but something that does not fail safe can still cause issues If the problem with the code was anything other then this, I'd release it as is, but personally I will NEVER release code that I know does not fail safe a moving robot
somewhat, Kids wiggled the hammers a lot, basically spamming the button which had a habit of backing the screws out of the servo horn, leading to the horn popping off (which didnt happen on the lifters) I also had 2 servos break on the hammers over the weekend, both just got jammed, not sure how or why that happened For v2 I'm going to remove the servos and use n20s for the weapons instead to increase the reliability
@@TeamPanicRobotics I had a couple break on a 2 servo grappler quite quickly in. Ended up working out a soft mounting system with tiny elastic bands that's lasted a years worth of fights so far. Arm screws in at the bottom with small plastic bands held at the top of the horn, you can adjust them for how much of a buffer you need.
those servos must not like being jammed and trying to move further then the arm will let them A soft mount sounds like a great way to go, I'll keep that in mind
Maybe, I think if I was going to sell them they'd be quite expensive as I dont have the tools to build them quickly But if someone wanted one I'd consider it
These were awesome, it was so cool to see the crowds of kids around them all 3 days! Pretty low maintenance too, mostly I noticed hammers that had detached and needed screwing back on.
They where really popular which was great to see haha yeah, kids wiggling the hammers backed the screws out a lot, but I'll take that as the "major" failure of them for the event (and its an easy fix for v2)
Huge thanks to Jordan from Obviously Robotics (@robotwarsluvr here on RU-vid) for his help getting the arenas finished the day before the event. www.youtube.com/@robotwarsluvr
One issue you can encounter with the switch is that the glue comes lose during fight. Then after powering off, the pads can move around and sporadically power the robot up. I would not trust the power off state to just glue.
That is one craze build in the time frame you had. Is it possable to get ahold of the STL file for the screw switch? as im in the process of building a couple of bots.
It was really cool getting to see Nucleus up close at Havoc 7. It certainly looks like it knows how to survive in combat. As you said, a little bit of tweaking and refinement should make v.2 even better, and I look forward to seeing that in action.
leaving aside the difficulty of angling both out in different directions and keeping the chassis ridged and in weight Why do you think angling the weapons will increase contact? Especially over other options like a size increase or speed increase
@TeamPanicRobotics it seems when your base makes contact the weapon doesn't quite reach. A small amount of angle, or weapon size "might" give you that 1 to 2 mm difference. There are probably multiple ways to do it. That's what I first thought of to be honest. (Side note, will you be at the motorama event in PA? If so, I'm looking forward to fighting you there. 1lb class)
I think weapon size might be the easiest way to go, something to think about for v2 Unfortunately not, while I enjoy traveling to the States to fight, its expensive and time consuming so I can only do it infrequently
I would love to see a 2nd version of Nucleus. This one did surprisingly well at this event and I think there’s more potential to be had with this design.
Do you think it is beneficial having the front and back weapons? Would it be better to just have a twice as powerful weapon on one side? Or is the defence of the back worth the weight?
This design is explicitly a clone of the Hacksmiths Orbitron, the reason it has two weapons is because Orbitron has two weapons There is a lot of debate about weather two weapons is beneficial or not, Yes they are less impactful, but you do get offence on both sides and in this case, the two weapons cancel out each others gyroscopic force making the robot turn better when the weapons are at full speed I think as long as the two weapons can be made powerful enough to be effective its worth at least trying
I like the idea of using the PCBs as actual PCBs instead of wiring. Route power and signal through the actual chassis Could you have a fly lead for charging so the battery can be charged in the bot?
that might help, would need to be a fairly complex pcb and I dont know how the traces will go with the shock loads, but I'll have a think about it Thats a good idea, but I was very out of space in the build, I might look at adding one to v2
Definitely love to see A version 2 its a very interesting design for a 150g antweight. love your videos and would love to see you at a event someday in the near future.
Unless you are in Australia its unlikely you'll see me at an event I do love traveling to compete but its time consuming and expensive so I can only do it very very infrequently
Great work as always! Sounds like there is some potential in a Version 2, especially if you can get a bit more pushing power and weapon punch in there. If not a Version 2 of this i'd love to see your take on an Antweight Flipper, knowing you it would be silly powerful trying to OOTA from as far from the walls as possible!
Çok teşekkürler.. bu videoyu türkçe kaynaklarda bulamadım. tek kanal ile iki motoru ters yönde nasıl hareket ettireceğimi videonuz sayesinde buldum. elimdeki kumanda videodaki nin alt modeli ekransız olanı. ama bilgisayar arayüz programı var. oradan yapacağım tüm ayarlamaları..
This is so cool. I have thought it would be cool to have something like this. If there is one thing i would change, i would add some beefier batteries to tho robots.
I used 1s 750mah batteries as I wanted them to last as long as possible, They lasted 3.5 hours on a charge, which was enough as I had 2 copies of each so I could easily cover the full day with them
You really caught me off guard when you said you were going to bring it to havoc. I thought you meant norwalk havoc/ nhrl, and i was so confused since nhrl's smallest weight class is 3lb.
