Just remember, if it's strong enough to break metal, it's also strong enough to break you. We also added a weapon key which prevents the weapon from moving even if the weapon switch is bumped. We never test unless we have a solid door between us and the bot. Also never test the weapon unless there is something sturdy between you and it. The receiver we have listed has an arrow to show which way is up.Īdding Weapons to battlebots is highly dangerous, never ever install weapons with the robot on. Also the connections made to the receiver by the speed controllers MUST be correct, our team lost several speed controllers due to members plugging them in upside down. Once it is connected you can take the plug out and use it normally.
Once all the components are hooked up, you have to bind the controller to the bot using the controller's bind button and putting a bind plug in the receiver. Here is a list of links to our components: This instructable: help with visualizing the wiring setup Just remember these connections: You will also have to make what we call a "Squid connector" Where there switch connects to the battery and speed controllers. The components will need some sort of connector for easy connections. On our battlebots we use Deans connectors because of their snug fit for combat. īattlebots are like heavily armored RC cars, so if you need any additional help with wiring you can consult a number of tutorials here on instructables or else where on the internet. If you already know how to wire an RC system you're one step ahead, if not follow this tutorial on RC wiring. You will have to drill holes into the frame to accommodate a banebots gearbox. We use bolts to hold our gearbox in place, all the other components are velcroed down with high strength Velcro. We also use banebots 20:1 gearboxes for drive systems and 4:1 gearboxes for our weapon system. We use Banebots green wheels, they are designed for high traction. You will also need wheels of some sort to roll on. You will have to find a way to mount the motors whether it be a gearbox like we use or a direct drive system.
