Team Nightmare - MicroNightmare

The goal with this robot was to try to build a small scale model of my Heavyweight robot, Nightmare.

This mean little spinner is only one pound (16 ounces), and was built in July 2003.

MicroNightmare's 5.5" titanium disc (which is 1/4 of his total weight!) is powered by a Hacker B20 brushless motor. This motor is running at 14.8V on two 1200mah LiPoly battery packs for maximum destruction power!

MicroNightmare took about 4 days to build.

In testing on the last day after completion, MicroNightmare was repeatedly launching a 1lb box OVER my 4 foot tall workbench, and was cutting 3" long gashes THROUGH an industrial-duty 5 gallon plastic bucket and tossing it 6 feet away. SWEET!

Packed full of goodies from the Robot MarketPlace!

- Two 1200mah 2-cell LiPoly batteries in series for 14.8V

- SOZbots SOZDSCR2 speed controller

- Copal 60:1 drive motors

- Hacker B20-26L motor with 4:1 gearhead

- Phoenix 10 brushless motor controller

- Futaba R133F receiver

- Lite Flite 1.5" wheels

- Custom Carbon fiber frame

Building my own custom pulleys and 'bearings' that would hold up to the huge impacts and high speeds were part of the fun challenge.

That's a 5mm 6-4 titanium shaft in there.

MicroNightmare says "hello" to ShazBot, my other 1 pound Antweight robot. ShazBot is sporting his new, shiny Hexcel Texalium Carbon Fiber armor.

Special thanks to DCWaterJet for their help with MicroNightmare's disc!
