BIT 1.36 V4 Final Design Breakdown
While BIT 1.36 V3 is still active and ready to compete, I started on BIT 1.36 V4. As I am getting more comfortable with some complex designs by building the previous 3 beetles, I hope I can go for some more ambitious and competitive designs in the fourth robot. I hope that the robot can stay largely the same as the previous ones concept-wise and focus on internal improvements. The design goal of the new robot will stay consistent with the previous robots. compact durable stable cheap creative maneuverable fast destructive Some specific design features that I would like to try this time: Hubmotor drum that reuses the old drum from last robot Custom 4 wheel drivetrain setup similar to BIT 1.36 V3 6s battery Return to 7075 aluminum frame A wedge for horizontal spinner So we are going to go over each of those features Frame On the last robot, I tried a UHMW frame for the first time. Strength-wise it is satisfactory, only suffering from cosmetic damage, but there are some disadvantages
