@@Duckduck-dagreat - I will caution that widening your frame to guard your wheels consumes a significant amount of weight. Personally, I like how well-rounded Cheesecake is (decent armor, decent weapon), but I can also appreciate the idea of having an excellent weapon at the cost of armor that is just barely enough. Plus, the large attack area of a horizontal spinner can protect you quite well: the best defense is a good offense, you might say.
I've also had problems with the n20 gear motors and big wheels. I think becauae of the size there is a lot of leverage on the shaft and into the tiny gear stack. I also think you might have to switch to a nylon for the body or some other material that is tougher and better at absorbing the hits. Just my 2 cents. Combat robotics is all about learning and improving your designs as you go.
Yeah with the motor shaft i agree. But for the abs it was a huge hit and my weapon bar even bent. i didint have any problems with abs and survived a lot of hits earlier with my orher robots. Nylon yes is stronger but its way too heavy. Abs is 50 procent lighter.
Oh that's super fun! Love me a good horizontal!
Cheesecake! im a big fan
Hi!
They're great! You should give one a shot if you ever get into bot building
You could take inspiration from cheesecake. Maybe some wheel guards should make it more armored

Great video, greetings from Mexico
Nice! Shame it came apart like that, but that's the big issue with horizontals-you have to survive the hits your own weapon makes.
yeah exactly.
Wow nice video, Keep it up!
Awesome one mate keep up the good work
I would recommend ASA with no dye instead of ABS. Less brittle, easier to print, better layer adhesion.
hmm mabye i will give it a try

Nice little bot!
Horrible music
what is wrong about it?
