Material required to build battlebot
Hi guys , today I am going to post the blog based on battlebots. My today's topic is how to select material for designing your battlebot.
I know everyone wants to know that which material should be used to make the battlebot. Today I will give you all details related to the material which you can use to build your own battlebot.
You had listen about many material such as aluminium, steel, titanium, etc. But these material have also very different varieties. For example steel has many variety depends on the amount of different materials in it such that carbon, etc.
Some of the material which you can use to build your own battlebot are:
• aluminum and magnesium alloys in general, especially the high strength ones, are a very good choice for protected structural walls, integrated structure-armor, structural top covers, bottom covers, ablative armor and internal mounts.They're also a good choice for the body of weapons that have inserts, such as spinning disks, shells, drums, bars and eggbeaters with inserts,hammer, thwack or overhead thwack handles, spears with inserts, lifter and launcher arms with inserts, and clamper and crusher claws with inserts. In all the above applications avoid using
steels, even high performance steel alloys.
• Ti-6Al-4V titanium, in special the ELI version is the material for wedges and for minimum weight shafts, gears and trusses. It is a very good option for the body of low maintenance weapons that have inserts, such as low maintenance spinning disks, shells, drums, bars and eggbeaters with inserts, and low maintenance hammer, thwack or overhead thwack handles. It is
very good as well for blunt weapons such as blunt one-piece spinner disks, shells, bars and eggbeaters, blunt hammer heads, and blunt thwack or overhead thwack tips. It is also a good option for traditional armor, rammer shields and non-structural top covers.
•Steels that combine high toughness , high strength and high hardness are the best materials for traditional armor, rammer shields, non-structural top covers, as well as compact-sized shafts,gears and weapon parts. They are also the best option for sharp weapon parts such as one-piece
spinning disks, shells, drums, bars and eggbeaters, one-piece spears, and sharp weapon inserts (such as teeth, spear tips, clamper, lifter or launcher scoops). Together with Ti-6Al-4V, they're also a good option for blunt one-piece spinner disks, shells, bars and eggbeaters, blunt hammer heads, blunt thwack or overhead thwack tips, and minimum weight trusses.
•avoid using plastics such as Lexan in the robot structure, even as armor plate. Even relatively tough polymers such as Lexan and UHMW are not recommended to used as a structural parts.Structural plates made out of the best polymers can achieve higher stiffness-to-weight, strength-to-weight and toughness-to-weight ratios than most steels, however high strength aluminum and magnesium alloys are much better in all those cases. In addition, polymer plates need to be very thick to outperform steels, which will significantly increase the volume of the robot. Lexan used to be an attractive armor material due to its transparency to radio signals, because an all-robot used to suffer from the Faraday cage effect. However, the high frequency radios used nowadays, such as the 2.4GHz ones, do not have much problem with all-metal robots. So,plastics should be avoided in structural parts. Plastics are a good option, however, for internal mounts that do not have volume restrictions (such as UHMW motor mounts).
These all the material which you can use it to build a best battlebot for yourself. For more details, please comment down your queries so that I can help you to overcome it. I hope you today's blog. Stay tuned for more exciting blog based on my journey in smart India Hackathon 2018 hardware edition which is coming soon .
Thanks!!!
