knex battle bots

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJbFasz1eAg
2 months ago I saw this video for a knex crank shaft. the motor was not strong enough to launch the white rod. so I had a idea to use the motor to pull back the ram. this is what i came up with. its not very powerful but is a machine gun with no chain.

this is my first Instructable so be nice.

the instructions are done

please post any mods for a different motor.

update the gunbot 2.0 instructions are hear!!!! ya!!!

because not every body liked the mg and and i have many other things i could put on it the body is know going to be known as the bot and the mods determent the name so the first bot is gunbot.

mod can be posted on this forum http://www.instructables.com/forum/TL8ZZKSF7KZRMSD/

instructions for knife bot 2.0 hammerbot 1.0 and 2.0 drillbot 1.0 and pushbot 1.0 (working on name)are not going to happen!!!!
not many people commented that they made it or that they cared about these bots being made. i have moved on to a rubber band shooting robot that can fire 6 rubber bands at a time. i will post the instructions for the mod for the bot to make it fire rubber bands. the robot will have its own insructable. it will be able to turn, have hands that will move, and have two of my automatic rubber band shooters. it will be done with cyber knex motors(if i can find them on ebay but i haven't had much luck). all that comes to 8 motors. i hope it will work.

it worked... kind of. i did not use the cyber knex motors. i used the control-a-bot motor that i had laying around.

it is here. http://www.instructables.com/id/knex-robot!!!!!!!/

Step 1 The gun part

easy to follow. look at notes.

this part is needed for all the bots

you should see the gunbot 2.0 mod even if you make a different bot.

What's your current arsenal right now?

[dsman195276]

Ksayer, oodammo pistol(Working on it), TD's asault rifle thing he posted in the forum not to long ago, DD-27 3.0(Still not done...)

[DJ Radio]

By the way, hows the Knexsayer working for you?

[DJ Radio]

What do you think of my avatar?

Here's my arsenal:

[dsman195276]

Nice, pretty creative avatar.

Your arsenal looks good, just that little pistol(KillerK's?).

I forgot to mention that I have two of the 18 barrel things made...

[DJ Radio]

It's not my avatar, it's from an album, "The blueprint 3".  Here's a single from the album: www.youtube.com/watch

The little block trigger pistol is actually Mepain's shotgun mod to Killerk's pistol, it shoots 4 yellow rods in one trigger pull.  It gets good ranges, around 40-45 feet.  The block trigger is very comfortable and easy to use.  Here's a link to a video: www.youtube.com/watch

Lol, the BR is 8 barrels, not 18.

[dsman195276]

The big 18 barrel turrents bacon made, i forgot i had two lieing around.

[DJ Radio]

NYPA made the exact same spelling mistake you did.  Its "Turrets".

[dsman195276]

Sorry, I wrote that in a hurry! :-)

 

[DJ Radio]

I made the 8 shot turrets.  I am gonna take apart the bottom rifle soon, its pissing me off.  Anyways, what do you think of the youtube videos?

[Bartboy]

Do you have a job? I mean, you have like 500$ of Knex!

[dsman195276]

and i easily have over 1000$ of knex with the prices at knex.com.

i estimate that each pieces is around .25$(some more some less but .25s a good guess). i have a estimated 13000 knex so 13,000 * .25 = 2,833.33$!

[Millawi Legend]

I estimate thenthat my knex(in pence) is worth about £2000 and about $3000.

[builder968]

then why didnt my 50.00 motorized madness ball machine that has 2100 pieces cost me over $500?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[therandomperson]

[dsman195276]

[therandomperson]

[Bartboy]

[dsman195276]

[dsman195276]

mistake, dad's. that is to show ownership. would the sentence make sense if i wrote it like this actually, no. there really my dad knex but i am free to use them.

[knexsuperbuilderfreak]

[builder968]

[codongolev]

finally! someone else has this set! it's awesome!

[sampson643]

What is the point on these??

[dsman195276]

this is a tank with a machine gun mounted on it. the machine gun also does not use the bullet-per-chain link design, but a rack and pinion design.
