Awesome tracked sumo! Great job, really. I think a lot of people had the same idea, but ideas don't mean crap... working robots do. Kudos!

I know there are a lot of people who really like acrylic (mainly because it is cheap I suppose), but I personally would never build a robot using it. Delrin is a far superior plastic to use - it machines nicer, it has a much higher melting point (which helps with the machining), and it is enormously less brittle than acrylic.


I also have been using Delrin. I cut the panels for my rover from Delrin sheets and it turned out great.

Hi! I live in Montreal too! I was thinkiong maybe of going to a meeting of robomontreal, looks interesting. I didn't know that McGill had comptetions? I guess it's only for the students there?

Anyway, It's cool to see I'm not the only one in the montreal area!! :D

yea, it was for us students, the robot is still around. and id come to a rc 3kg sumo competition if one was held locally.

yeah, We planned on using 2 of those drill motors side by side but it leaves almost no room for wheels, they would have to slip over the motor housing. we dropped that idea when i stumbled across lynx motion tracks. I was pissed when i saw them on sale for 14$ haha we paid 68$ for two of em, it coulda been 26!!!
