  • @IchiroSkywalker

    This could definitely be considered as an upgrade to the card-shooting tank.
    My suggestion about the feeding mechanism is to have the disc loaded vertically in a horizontal cylinder and then have it slide down into the belt, like a P90 ammo rack.
    You can try to strengthen the turret connection as well.

  • @MedallionYT
    @MedallionYT ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but LEGO's Mindstorms RCX had a disc shooting robot that was a simpler version of this (in the Ultimate Builders expansion set). I modified it to go on treads as well, so its cool to see that others had that idea!

    I love the use of absolutely weaponizing normally underwhelming Lego weapons. Especially with the absolutely menacing noise of that thing revving up.
    It makes me think of all the other tank possibilities.
    Mars Mission foam dart array
    Technic rubber dart array
    Flick fire missile armageddon
    Stud shooter / Spring bolt blaster array
    You could potentially get some Mindstorms parts and make a smart AI tank. Or atleast about as smart as Mindstorms can be, I would love to see the technical challenges overcame and the interesting ways you would circumvent the limitations. I have been thinking about how two brain boxes could communicate, since they arent really meant to directly. Like with two light/camera parts placed against each other flashing messages between the two "hemispheres" of the brain boxes. Or two motors ran into each other, reading their own inputs and translating it into messages. It would get really interesting with several brain boxes, and across generations. Im interested in exploring this myself since I have 2 NXTs and 1 EV3 set. and would love to see how far it can get pushed.
    It would be really fun to turn it into a game. Have one remote controlled "player", and a Mindstorm tank set to track the player. Probably tracking through color, and give the players vehicle some sort of way to attack the tank.

    • @Rohrak

    It looks like your launching wheels are spinning at the same speed (though obviously in opposite directions).
    If they were turning at different speeds, it would put a spin on the frisbees as they fire, and they might fly straighter and further.
