Like our SS1 kit our 3lber bar spinner PBD2 is available only as a basic chassis kit. It is an improved version on my Sons robot "Pure Dead Brilliant". It has competed at Carolina Combat and at
Robogames 2007 (where it took 4th place), Motorama 2008 and Carolina Combat.The kit consists of a fully welded tube chassis that has mountings for a weapon axle , a motor bracket mounting
(not the bracket itself as that depends on the weapon motor used), and a flange to mount the rear roll over bar/drive motor mounts. The UHMW rollover bar is included along with the necessary hardware to mount the two
main parts together. The prototype used two larger Banebots gearnmotors but production kits are designed to use much lighter 24mm Banebots gearmotors, a list of other required parts is provided with the kit.
The prototype uses a 35-30 Brushless motor, ESC and 1000mAH LiPo battery from United Hobbies
to provide a lethal hits with its 9.5" Titanium and Steel blade. the production kit can take a 10.5" Blade and mount the ESC inside the top tube. Here are a couple of videos of fights from RoboGames "Pure Dead Brilliant" v "Mission Mayhem""Pure Dead Brilliant v "Wedge"
A completed PDB2 Kit "Maniac Kathy" being tested Warning!This Bot will be offered as a basic chassis only and is intended for more experienced builders.
Spinners are dangerous and the prototype is quite capable of causing severe injuries to the builder, operator or spectators. It should only be operated or tested within an suitable arena and with strict
adult supervision.. |
