It should be practical to include a little bit of a spiral spring as part of the weapon shape to reduce shock transfer to the motor without adding any parts. Might lower the moment of inertia a little since it will need some extra material near the middle to make it work without weakening things but it could be worth it. A weapon shape like division uses, but with a bit of a spiral around the center might do it.

Not a bad idea overall. My concern with this is that it would also make the weapon flex up and down, which would make it really likely to chop my own wheels.

@@JustCuzRoboticsYes. Would probably work better on a bot with way more clearance, so not your current design. I can imagine some pretty sick designs built around that approach and that motor. Simple big springy angled horizontal spinner with lots wheel clearance (so smaller less effective drive). Probably couldn't drive or survive as well, but could smash good :)

There is probably no good way to put a support bearing around the upper bell, but it was the first thing to cross my ancient mind. Unfortunately bearings are heavy and require consistent alignment and support, hard to do in a top plate, especially when it’s getting hit. Just my .02 for the day.

This very first version of the 4935 motor didn't have a magnet's epoxy from factory. I haven't had any issues with magnets shattering since that change was made. The flange to shaft also makes a pretty big difference to the durability of the motor.
@mr.b6034

Still think you would be better to run a dead shaft style. This would probably be cheaper in manufacturing process as well. This would beef up the body of the motor with no bearings mounted in it... being able to run bigger bearings above the stator and inline with the weapon blade. This will also allow a bigger surface area to transfer the impact and reduced leavering action on the shaft to the bearings...
@JustCuzRobotics
11 ай бұрын
Currently a dead shaft setup would require that the motor be made taller as both bearings would need to fit on the top of the motor somehow. It's something I may look into in the future, maybe as a different product line. The current design is locked in for the next 50 motors.

I think an axial flux motor might work really well for a combat robot, both for isolating the coils from shock and for maximizing the power output/weight ratio. It might also help to use some sort of plastic to cover the magnets instead of epoxy.

12:00 Instead of having metal pins connecting the weapon to the motor, you could instead use pins made of some sort of rubber. That would seem to be the simple solution. Understandable that you started out trying metal pins for worst case scenario and to get the extra mass of the motor..
@JustCuzRobotics
10 ай бұрын
I have a similar plan. If all I did was replace the dowel pins I am afraid the rubber pins wouldn't do anything since all the load would be on the screws instead. So my current idea is use shoulder bolts that stick up higher than the weapon, with a 10mm diameter of TPU rubber around them and no dowel pins. That way there is several millimeters of 'squishiness'.

Two ideas for that huge blade on subtraction: 1. A friction "clutch" of sorts that uses a spring and a friction plate to imparr the force onto the blade. Remove those dowel pins and have it rotate freely on its shaft 2. Seperating the motor from the actual blade with a 1:1 gear. This would make it more likely to survive the uppercut of doom whilst spinning, since it would decouple it from the impact. To make this work, i would suggest using an internal clutch system from my first point instead of external. I would also have the blade shaft connect to the bottom and top sections of the frame, constraining and reinforcing it.
@JustCuzRobotics
5 ай бұрын
I already solved this issue in Subtraction V2 using a set of rubber washers between the blade and motor screws to allow the blade to rotate a few degrees seperate from the motor. It's not really a clutch but jt worked wonders.

I am quite curious about your opinion on overhead spinner. In this vert domination days, would you consider overhead spinner still being competitive in any weight class?
@JustCuzRobotics
11 ай бұрын
Firstly not every robot I build is intended to be competitive, I like building a bot that's different and interesting. Second, overhead spinners have a number of advantages in particular. They can hit in more than one direction and more than one side of the bot so being perfectly accurate driving is much less of a priority. A giant horizontal spinner frequently will outreach a lot of verts as well meaning I'll probably hit supporting structure on either side of their weapon. The spinner is my top armor so there is basically nothing a hammer/hammersaw/other overhead attack weapon will do to Subtraction. And horizontal spinners can be a lot more nimble driving as there are much less gyroscopic forces to worry about Vs verts. Just to name a few.
