The Hounds probably combine into smaller than these in terms of internal volume. Not the final Hounds CAD shown, but they are really, *really* small. @TeamRapidRW for scale too.

Episode three brings more action and thrills as six robots battle it out for their place in the Grand Final!
The first three in tomorrow's episode are @CCRobotWars , @BuckyTheRobot and @TeamRapidRW!

Here was a scale model that was made before building the real thing to prove the geometry was correct #slowmo #robot #robotwars #mini #hounds #ReleaseTheHounds #engineers #engineering #test
Finally able to reveal the build for KOB2 built and driven with @PulsarRW
The goal with Hounds was to build the most competitive dual clusterbot the sport has seen, without losing cool points. Each 54kg machine packs a 17kg 10,000rpm drum on a tiny 4WD platform.
Our first set of wheels looked great, but unfortunately the supplier used very low grip rubber. So we're casting our own from Vytaflex60 to get better performance. We machined two nylon end plates which slide into 150mm ID plastic piping, making a low cost reusable mould.
Just assembling some drivetrains today. Can't have too many spares...

The extreme weightsaving extends to the gears this time too! Just hope they hold up. 😬

Most of this weekend was spent getting ready for the Antweight World Series. Custom gearboxes will be in action

Testing different polyurethane rubbers for wheels on the #new #robot. This is to make sure we get maximum grip on the arena floor @PulsarRW!

Robots are basically clever bits of metal joined together in clever ways.
@PulsarRW designed this part, we're not sure where it goes. #robot #robotcombat #noinstructions #clevercookie #battlebots #kingofbots #omgrobots #soon #readytorumble #gettingready
