Antweight Combat Spinner Bot - Shrapnel Mk1

thingiverse

This is a detailed guide on how to build a robot called Shrapnel using 3D printing and various electronics components. Here's a breakdown of the instructions: **Components Needed:** * 3D printed parts (top and bottom sections, motor mounts) * Brushless motor * Drive motors * ESCs (Electronic Speed Controllers) * Power switch * Battery * LED light * Nylon screws * M2 screws * M3 screws * Microgear motor brackets * Receiver * Micro Molex 3 Pin connectors **Assembly:** 1. Print out the top and bottom sections and two motor mounts. 2. Drill out holes for the motors, ESCs, and other components. 3. Mount the brushless motor up front and the drive motors on the sides using motor clamps. 4. Solder up the power circuit: * Connect battery positive to one side of the power switch. * Connect other side of the power switch to all ESC positives and to the anode of the LED. * Connect battery negative to all ESC negatives and to a 220ohm resistor. * The resistor then connects to the cathode of the LED. 5. Shorten ESC leads that go to the receiver and either solder them directly or splice in connectors. 6. Plug the ESC leads into the receiver. 7. Secure the ESC, battery, power switch, and loose wires with super glue or hot glue. 8. Manufacture the weapon bar using the material of your choice. 9. Mount the weapon bar to the brushless motor with M2 screws. 10. Attach the top section to the bottom with M3 screws. **Post-Printing:** 1. Give the chassis a coat of red spray paint, faded with some black. Note that this is a complex project that requires some electronics knowledge and 3D printing experience. The guide assumes that you have access to a 3D printer (Flashforge Dreamer) and various electronics components. If you're new to robotics or 3D printing, it may be helpful to start with simpler projects before attempting something like this.
