This is a very interesting hub motor design. I like how compact it is overall. I looked at your website at the specs and couldn't find approximate torque specs of the motor/esc. It is a simple test. You mount the motor on the edge of a table using a string wrapped around it. Use a small bucket and add weight until the motor can't lift the bucket. Measure the weight after and that is the torque. Sand makes a good measurement weight.
@JustCuzRobotics4 күн бұрын
That test doesn't really work for sensorless brushless motors since they aren't capable of delivering any reasonable stall torque and their behavior is entirely dependant on the ESC they are connected to. I will test spinup times with weapons as a useful metric as that gives more relevant data with the specific esc I sell

Is it too crazy of an idea to use the ant weight motors as drive motors for a beetle? Edit: or any other size?
@JustCuzRobotics7 күн бұрын
Idk why you would want that, your wheels would have next to no torque, and extremely high speed especially at the minimum 50mm diameter. I have been thinking about trying to make a drive hubmotor but I don't know if it's feasible at 1lb or 3lb scale. Brushless motors lose a lot of power at low voltage when you make them really low KV.

@yngndrw.8 күн бұрын
I have a design suggestion regarding the disassembly process. If you thread the central M4 hole all the way through rather than making it blind, you can then insert a longer M4 bolt from the opposite side. You'd still need one bolt-on piece for it to press against, but that will then make it easier to separate rather than having to try to pull it apart by hand. This also simplifies the manufacturing slightly as it's no-longer a blind threaded hole.
@JustCuzRobotics6 күн бұрын
I don't think that makes it easier to separate, the issue with pulling it apart is that there is a central magnet ring pressed onto the two out hub clamshells. Seperating the two halved of the blue part is easy and pushing just on one would leave the orange hub pressed to the magnet ring on both sides and just push out the blue shaft/ or the stator + bearing on one side. I might change it to a through hole for manufacturing if it's actually cheaper but I doubt it makes too much difference.
@yngndrw.6 күн бұрын
@@JustCuzRobotics Oh sorry yes you're right, I missed that. The manufacturing aspect depends on the operations used, if you're threading it to the end with a second plug tap after the taper tap then it saves that operation. It also makes it easier to clear the swarf afterwards but whether or not it's cheaper depends on the manufacturer.

@@JustCuzRobotics Aha! I re-watched the end of the video, and you do mention how to reverse a motor in case its plugged in wrong but I don't find the part about assigning this to a button. In my case I would like a button that when flipped would change the mix/elevon. When a bot flips over the steering left/right remains the same, but reverse becomes forward and vice versa. So the switch would need to change so that forward of the stick gives a negative value for CH1/CH2, while keeping the same mix when going left and right.

First off, I really appreciate all the work you put into education and support in these videos for builders in the robot combat sport. Keep that up! While I can appreciate some of the points you made about “popularity growth”, there is a very large business strategy model behind both BB and NHRL that drives their actions and motives. A few key thoughts! 1) Who controls the future of the sport: NHRL sounds awesome and I hope to get to go soon. I want this sport to grow and they’re doing their part! The thing I disagree with is “the future of this sport is most likely in NHRL hands so… don’t ***k it up”. We (the builders) are the heart of this sport. No builders, no bots, no events. I’m not going to concede NHRL has it locked up. 2) No real competition for NHRL: If you look at events across the US, NHRL is popular, but only in the vacuum of virtually no other folks with $$$ to fund something of that scale regularly. All it will take is a tipping point of 2-3 more well funded event locations and we’re off to the races! BattleBots (big expensive bots) does their thing to promote awareness to folks whole may never be builders and some who will. That is amazing and, as you said, a different goal than NHRL (no idea but I assume smaller, more affordable bots). 3) NHRL Infomercial? I’ve seen a LOT of pitch presentations and this looks just like a subtle promo to hype NHRL. That’s fine, but it would be nice to just be up front about it. One graph showing KZfaq subscribers doesn’t prove NHRL is or will lead the charge for events. We’ve got to work together on this one (the whole bot community) so let’s encourage competition and more large events by anyone and not say, I’m paraphrasing what I took away from your video, the future control of this sport is NHRL’s to lose… The future: We’re in an exciting time where this sport has momentum! May it keep evolving, growing, and maintain the love and support the bot community always brings to the pit and arena every single time! ❤️

To be clear NHRL had no idew I was making this video, no input, they didn't pay me to say anything or ask me to promote them. They clearly are much better at getting views than I am so that would not make much sense. I do totally get where you are coming from though. 2-3 more big players would be awesome but almost nobody has that kind of money and none that do have invested it how NHRL has. I would happily welcome anyone else who does so. Hell if I had the money I would do it.

One thing NHRL promised at the start of the year though hasn't yet been delivered on is arena grants. Assuming they follow through with this, they are donating $1mil to nonprofit organizations like schools so they can build arenas and host events throughout the country. My guess is this is enough money for ~ 200 3lb capable arenas at $3000-5000 or maybe 20 30lb capable arenas at $35-50k each. As far as I know they will not require these arena to be used with NHRL's own rules set and they will provide some of the funds to buy other things needed to run events such as pit tables and chairs and such. There are a lot of additional challenges to creating events everywhere such as finding good venues, arena storage, and event insurance being pricy, but I think this could be amazing for the sport if it pans out.

Two Teams are Conquering Toronto, It's going INSANE. SSP still got it and got better now. Death Muncher is a bit easy to fight as long as the spinner is not in full speed. Phantom 3 is not using the spinner at the beginning of the fight is concerning, but thing went CRAZY at the end. Caldera disables the lifter with one hit and was a bit anti-climatic, as I thought it will be full 3-minute fight 😞. Ipsiety looks more menacing than last year and the fight was more insane than before. Against PPK is a bit close and I have no idea who will win, but SSP won from the JD. Rematch against Caldera is going to be different this time, once again another intense close battle. SSP is been sent flying few times and still managed to keep on going and doesn't seem to stop.
