We've been busy in the workshop but quiet on here for the last year. Here's a thread of what we've been up to:
Lots and lots of lift testing, mainly to get the chains reliable.
Most of the testing was with weights…
#robotwars #battlebots #robotcombat #robotics
Some of the testing was a deliberate 'jammed lift' (or lowering, in this case), to simulate what would happen if we got stuck.
We've also built a mock-opponent, dubbed Timb-awe, from an old packing crate. It’s about the size of an average UK heavyweight and we can add weights inside.
The score of Timb-awe vs Deadlock is about 10-1 :-(
