I know right! WCCRL is a great place for the sport going forward, and they say their facility is always changing to fit the needs of the builders which is super awesome!

Repeat Robotics Mini MK3s. Their brushless motors with a lot a of power and torque!

I use a Radiolink RC4GS V3, rc car style radio with a micro receiver. Works well for me cause I came from driving RC drift cars. Hopefully that helps!😀

I used Fusion 360 to design the main weapon and also to estimate the overall weight of each part. I actually designed everything else through Shapr3D which I then exported to Fusion 360. Anything that's not the main weapon was made on Shapr3D and was sent to PCBWay to be CNC'd or lazer cut. Hope that helps :)

I saw that too!

@@TeamVector441 my favorite part was when vector exploded his side armor

That depends! Especially on were specifically you have your parts made weather it be CNC'd or something along those lines. Vectors aluminum frame(Which I hope to switch to UHMW to help with costs) with all included plates and mounts costs around 300-400 by itself, and the Tie main weapon $250+ so its not exactly cheap. But I offset it with sponsors and such. I would actually recommend PCBWay for that as well especially if your looking to CNC parts, they offer insanely competitive pricing as long as the part isn't too complicated. But if your looking to make a bot similar to Vector I would take cost into consideration! And I would be interested to see how it turns out, let me know how it goes!

@@TeamVector441 I will update you as I go along with the build. I’m getting my weapon made by pcbway, plus UHMW armor and two carbon fiber top and bottom plates from CNCMadness. I am planning to print my frame out of nylon 11, and some little titanium plates from send cut send. I tried to make as many parts identically as I could (to lower prices) and it was a bit of a challenge for the main rails. I am currently printing a mockup to check how everything fits together and after that, I will buy all of my parts from the vendors above. I will update you on how it goes!

@@DylanVelupula That's awesome! Be careful of carbon fiber though! It tends to sheer and break if its hit hard enough, but its very light and rigid. And 3D print everything first! That's the best way to make sure that everything fits well, and make sure to use my link to save on your PCBWay order. Trust me every penny counts! And I look forward to seeing what you create!

@@TeamVector441 Thanks! I am currently in the process of buying all of the components other than custom CNC'd parts and test-printing my frame so I can check that everything fits. I'll update this comment throughout my build!

Just a small (but rather annoying) update: I have gotten some of my fasteners and am only now realizing how their weight adds up on my bot. Time to go redesign again 🙃. I'm happy I found out now when I can still redesign and not waste a bunch of time 3d printing the frame again. I plan on making my weapon slightly smaller, and shrinking down my wheelbase to accommodate the weight.

Yeah I really want to try to see if it would be possible to still have some armor in the front of Vector when fighting. Ideally have a big titanium wedge when fighting against horizontals. But I have had a few people mention the idea so it might be something I wanna look into! Thanks for the recommendation!

I wouldn't say its a exact carbide copy of other bots, Vectors more of a combination of a lot of different bots :)

Yeah it basically self imploded lol

Thank you! I try my best to make sure that all my videos are enjoyable for everybody! 😃

🤣

@@TeamVector441 You actually replied no one Notice me

@@scythe-ue4ut I see u bro 👍

@@TeamVector441 ty

It was awesome!

I try my best to make it entertaining! Glad you enjoyed it!

I tried a design that covered the front wheels and it ended up being incredibly heavy. For now the design like this actually works really well, because the weapon is so large bots when trying to hit the wheels end up hitting the main weapon instead!

Surprisingly I've never lost vectors front wheels during a fight, except when going against horizontals. The weapons so wide and has so much reach, if you try to aim for the wheels you end up hitting the weapon which is why its so wide :)

That's called a 1lb Ver Fingertech Beater bar, it can be found on Fingertech's website or a different robot combat parts website. Here's a link to both: www.fingertechrobotics.com/proddetail.php?prod=ft-1lb-beater-bar-assy palmbeachbots.com/products/fingertech-1lb-beater-bar-assembly

I personally use Premier Pro, use it for all my editing and video creation :)

@@TeamVector441 you pay the monthly price or is there some free/student version that I’m unaware of (I use fusion 360 as my cad of choice bc of the student version haha)

That's a great question! Their are a ton of different drives to choose from, but their are mainly two types. Brushed and brushless drives. Brushed are less expensive and have less power but are just brute force motors that can take a beating. Their pretty good for beginners as they are MUCH easier to wire up, especially at larger scales and cost benefits. Brushless motors are high speed and torque along with general finer motor control. But at the cost of well cost lol Very expensive at times but its personally what I like to run on vector. Here are two great sites that sell both types. palmbeachbots.com/collections/motors-mounts repeat-robotics.com/product-category/motor/

Yeah I thought that too! The newest version of Vector has feet on the front that are about 1mm off the floor to try and negate kickback :)

@@TeamVector441 nice! Bot looks great! Would love to fight against it if you ever make your way north to Canada to compete at Kilobots

Yeah it was pretty fun to fight against cheesecake!

Thanks! Look forward to the next one!

That would be pretty fun actually!

Thanks!

Oh thats cool! Glad vector inspired you!

my first competition will be on 18 th

Hello! And thank you!
